Q4OS is a lightweight, Debian-based distribution featuring the KDE Plasma and Trinity desktops. The project's latest version is Q4OS 4.6 which is based on Debian 11 "Bullseye". One of the project's aims is to allow both desktops to be installed alongside each other, a rare feature given the shared history of the two desktops. "Q4OS Gemini is based on Debian Bullseye 11 and Plasma 5.20, optionally Trinity 14.0.10 desktop environment, and it's available for 64bit/x64 and 32bit/i686pae computers, as well as for older i386 systems without PAE extension. We are working hard to bring it for ARM devices as well. Desktop profiler, an exclusive Q4OS tool, has custom profiles support now, so a user can export the current desktop status snapshot, modify it and even create customized profiles on his own. Any profile is importable, so a user can import and apply it later on another hardware, getting a unique possibility of easy installation and configuration of the pre-defined set of applications and packages at once. In other words, a user easily gets a fresh operating system installation configured and ready to work with a minimal post installation effort. In addition, each desktop environment may keep its own applications profiles." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement.
