From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Plasma 6 for sure. I'm a Gnome user waiting with bated breath to see if it actually delivers the goods.
Always hoping for Nvidia to stop being bullshit. Definitely not buying from them again.
You can test it today. The feature freeze has happened already, thus nothing will change until the release
I don’t really know how to install something like a beta version of KDE, especially without messing up things on my own computer.
With an immutable system you can't fuck things up. I guess you aren't on one. In that case, use boxes and install it in a vm :)
What Plasma 6 feature has you most excited?
None in particular. Just the totality of the changes. Many of them are small default changes or usability changes, but when taken together it sounds like a nice, somewhat overdue bundle.
Not OP, but I’m excited about the baked in tiling. Nervous about Wayland as I think I have some stuff that will break, but we’ll see.
