| (e.g. Kinoite, MicroOS, SteamOS)
| |
| | |
| Principally, that it is distributed by KDE. This has several advantages:
| |
| * The chain of responsibility is never gated on a third party
| |
| * KDE and KDE e.V. can have a direct relationship with third parties using it, e.g. hardware OEMs
| |
| * KDE can explicitly recommend it without "picking favorites" from among other distro partners
| |
| | |
| TODO: differences on a technical level (e.g. another approach to updates / isolation? i.e. why this is not just a copy of Kinoite distributed by KDE)
| |
| | |
| === Prior art ===
| |
| KDE Neon, KDE's first version of a self-made OS. Neon fulfills the "distributed by KDE" requirement, but fails on the reliability angle due to the Ubuntu LTS base that ironically becomes unstable because it needs to be tinkered with to get Plasma to build on it, breaking the LTS promise.
