Nate Graham has announced the availability of the inaugural release of KDE Linux, a general-purpose Linux distribution built by the KDE project and featuring cutting-edge KDE technologies. KDE Linux comes with an immutable base system with packages from Arch Linux, while everything else is either compiled by the kde-builder tool or included as Flatpak packages. This release is considered "alpha" quality and it comes with a development snapshot of KDE Plasma 4.5. "Today I have something very exciting to share - the alpha release of KDE Linux, KDE's new operating system. KDE Linux is a new operating system intended for daily driving that showcases Plasma and KDE software in the best light, and makes use of modern technologies. Today we're releasing KDE Linux's 'Testing' edition. This edition provides unreleased KDE software built from source code, a preview of what will become the next stable release. In practice, we're being quite conservative, and it's already pretty darn stable for daily use. In fact, I've had KDE Linux on my home theater PC for about six months, and it has been on my daily driver laptop for one month." Read the rest of the release announcement for more information and known issues. KDE Linux is available as a RAW image that can be transferred to a bootable USB drive or converted to a VDI file and loaded in VirtualBox.

| About KDE Linux
|
| KDE Linux is a user-focused, general-purpose Linux distribution. It is built by KDE and it is meant to showcase the best implementation of everything KDE has to offer, using the most advanced technologies. The distribution's base packages come from Arch Linux, while everything else is either compiled by the kde-builder tool or included as Flatpak packages. KDE Linux does not come with any traditional package manager, but supports installing Flatpak, Snap or AppImage applications. As it has an immutable base, system updates involve replacing the operating system image with an entirely new one.
