This is what I would like Kubuntu to be. A rolling release that keeps up to date with Plasma. I distro hopped all of the KDE rolling distros until I found Tuxedo OS. Many of them didn't use KDE's Discover app for system updates. Tuxedo OS worked as I expected. I haven't had any problems with the install or the update process. I have an older Nvidia GPU and the drivers are automatically installed and updated. I've even installed some old PC games using Lutris. Steam has worked on my newer games using Proton. I barely touch Windows on my home workstation.

I've been on Linux for some time and as a distro hopper I've actually tried all Debian and Ubuntu based systems and was last on Mint when I became aware of Tuxedo OS because I would love to work with Wayland.
Wayland has caused problems on my PC with all OS so far.
So I put Tuxedo OS with Balena Etcher on a stick, which the Tuxedo company recommends on their website,....: so, stick in and boot.
And the installation was not only very easy and self-explanatory, but also very fast! The Nvidia driver was also installed and my out-of-the-box experience with any OS has never been so perfect! Okay, I thought, this is going great. Then I installed Steam and was able to play immediately thanks to the Wayland method selected during setup: And this in a graphic experience that really leaves me speechless! So perfect! I am really thrilled and the overall configuration of the system is so great, even the privacy settings, up to the default optout of the new ad settings in Firefox, .....really great and I thank the team of Tuxedo Computers for this experience and can highly recommend Tuxedo OS to anyone interested here and outside of distrowatch! :-)

>Everything works great by default !!!,
>TuxedoOS is fixing the mistakes that Ubuntu made by removing snaps and shipping firefox and some other vital packages in deb format.


>Inbuilt Nvidia driver support is great and Distro is very stable with Plasma 6
>Only gripe is they don't support btrfs auto snapshot and rollback from grub by default.
>It does not looks like I would need it considering no random freezes but having that as safety-net would give me a peace of mind.


> Please also do make battery saving profile of power-profiles-daemon more battery saving by disabling unused ports and lowering disk speed or whatever other options tlp provides.
> Ubuntu Kubuntu KDE-Neon and other plasma loving people who are not particularly fond of snaps should give this Distro a try , they will surely love this.

> Distrohoppers beware it might cure you
