From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah ut does anyone know when it will arrive in other distros' repos, e.g Fedora, Arch and NixOS?
Not sure about Fedora, but it's already in
extra-testingin Arch and has already been merged intomasterin NixOS apparently, so it should be hitting the general channels pretty soon hopefully.Edit: apparently the Fedora 40 beta has Plasma 6 but I didn't check that myself, I just saw someone mention it.
Seems you're right, as I saw The Linux Experiment was using the Fedora 40 Beta to test Plasma 6 for his review
