Its seamless meld of the KDE Plasma desktop with the stable and updated core of Fedora Linux reflects a meticulous effort to provide a top-notch user experience. As someone with over 20 years of desktop end-user experience, I find this distro to be one of the slickest offerings I've encountered in a long while. Ultramarine has done a splendid job with Plasma, presenting a distro that is both visually appealing and robustly functional. One of the shining attributes of Ultramarine Linux Plasma Edition is its ability to embody the stability and recent package versions characteristic of Fedora, yet without inheriting some of the myopic issues associated with Fedora, such as phasing out support for 10-year-old hardware. This thoughtful approach showcases a genuine understanding of the diverse hardware landscape, acknowledging the reality that millions of older computers continue to serve in offices worldwide. Moreover, the respect Ultramarine pays to KDE is praiseworthy. They veer away from the path of least resistance, which often entails relying heavily on GTK tools. Instead, they have embraced the robust and elegant toolkit that KDE provides, creating a cohesive and well-integrated environment that honors the KDE community's hard work and innovation. This dedication to a pure KDE experience shines through, making the Ultramarine Linux Plasma Edition a delightful distro to interact with. The efficient, user-friendly, and aesthetically pleasing interface makes it a welcoming haven for both Linux novices and seasoned users. This distro doesn't merely cater to the technical functionality but also offers a visually gratifying user experience which, I believe, is a testament to the careful and passionate work done by the Ultramarine developers. Ultramarine Linux Plasma Edition emerges as a distinguished entity in a crowded Linux distro landscape, echoing a blend of elegance, practical functionality, and a forward-thinking approach. The dedication to preserving the integrity of the KDE environment while ensuring a reliable and updated system is a balancing act nicely, nicely done by Ultramarine. This edition is more than just a distro; it's a commendable contribution to the open-source community, fostering an enriching computing environment for users worldwide.

I tried installing regular Fedora and also Debian KDE versions but was unable to get all my hardware working on them but Ultramarine just worked straight away. If you're not very technical and you want something that works without having to do too much then this is an excellent option. The most user-friendly Linux distribution I have used so far especially if you want to use up a raid on your machine. Was this review helpful? Yes No See all 20 reader reviews of Ultramarine Linux...
