Some of the Linux operating systems shown below do not yet provide KDE Frameworks 6 and KDE Plasma 6.

You can use the Testing Edition for builds from Plasma/5.x branches or the Unstable Edition for builds from master branches.
OpenMandriva Cooker and Rolling
OpenMandriva is a desktop centric, completely Plasma focused, distribution. The current development branch ("Cooker") includes Qt 5.15.1, KDE Frameworks 5.75, Plasma 5.20.2 and KApps 20.08.2. The current rolling release branch includes Qt 5.15.1, KDE Frameworks 5.75, and Plasma 5.20.2 and KApps 20.08.2. OpenMandriva Lx is available for x86_64 (with a specially optimized version for Ryzen/Threadripper CPUs) and aarch64. RISC-V, armv7hnl and PPC versions are in development.
openSUSE Krypton
Krypton is an installable live image based on openSUSE Tumbleweed with the latest KDE software from Git master (unreleased) on top.
See also https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Argon_and_Krypton
Currently the latest release is from 2023.09.19 and does not have KDE Frameworks 6.

KaOS
KaOS is a sophisticated and independent distribution which focuses completely on KDE. A modern packaging approach leads to stability and freshness at the same time. Small and helpfully community.
Slackware
Alien BOB (Eric Hameleers) provides an installable Live image for Plasma 5 which is re-generated at each update of the development tree "slackware64-current" using the liveslak scripts. Two login accounts/passwords are "live/live" and "root/root". Use su or sudo to become root (using the "live" password).
TUXEDO OS
Based on the KDE plasma desktop, TUXEDO OS creates a user experience that is also suitable for beginners, with a large and flexible feature set for Linux professionals. TUXEDO OS is a so-called "continuous release", being based on Ubuntu LTS with lots of perks and backports added. In addition, it brings the latest versions of KDE Plasma, Frameworks and Gear.
