The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.

Impossible to add a new panel, global theme does not respond, the panel always remains on the right, the initial setting (Croeso) is redundant, the same things can be done from the kde control panel. There are at least 100 other distros better than this one. Chaos equals mess, confusion. Comparing it to other distros it consumes more RAM, intense CPU usage. Why create such a distro? Get your own ISO for personal use but don't suggest it to anyone. A new Linux user would be right back where they came from. Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 2023.09 Rating: 1 Date: 2023-09-22 Votes: 1 This is a very poor representation of KDE Plasma. KaOS has many many quirks, issues and troubles. Aside from that, there's just zero reason to leave a stable, reputable, well supported and funded distribution for actual production. This is clearly something developed for the KaOS developers themselves and not for potential real world users. No way, no how and no thanks! Was this review helpful? Yes No Version: 2023.07 Rating: 10 Date: 2023-09-01 Votes: 9 KaOs is a linux system I do like very much, because it proved to be an outstanding lightweight, clean, versatile and very stable operating system. KaOs concentrates only on KDE-desktop. KDE-Plasma is the best desktop environment in my opinion, and KaOs makes it to an excellent user experience. Being a rolling distro, KaOS performs updates one can rely on, KaOs is an operating system, which I highly recommend. The installation goes very easy, Calamares installer is used here. The software coverage is very good, it can be extended by Flatpak as well. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 22 reader reviews of KaOS...
