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.

Experience with KDE on Fedora? (lemmy.world)

Hello all, I've been distro hopping a lot lately and have a long term goal of settling on one distro for the family laptops.

Currently it's a smattering of linux distro's and some M$ across all the systems in the house.

In short the fam has had a pretty negative reaction to Gnome for all the usual reasons, so there is a kubuntu instance, Nobara, but the KDE version, Manjaro etc... I kind of want to give Fedora a stint on my laptop and noticed the Fedora spins project and was wondering if anyone has played around with it at all?

I spun up the KDE version in a VM alongside the default Fedora and noticed it's running a newer kernel than the default, which is interesting...

Is it an equal partner in update cycles?

KDE on Fedora is great. My only complaint is by default Firefox doesn't use the KDE file picker, it uses (presumably) Gnome's file picker. This is fixable but I shouldn't have to do it.

Even the flatpak version? No idea why fedora is still not yet on the flatpak version.

I use the Flatpak version of Firefox on Fedora Kinoite and it uses the KDE file picker without problems, I guess it's an issue with the RPM version.

No idea, I try to avoid containerized software on desktops unless absolutely necessary like discord and jellyfin.

Why?

Oof, that would annoy me greatly. Obviously those are two of the heavier usage items I'd need.
