   What is the best (subjective) distro with KDE as default?

   #kde #linux

     @jarek In my opinion the best GNU/Linux distro with KDE Plasma is openSUSE Tumbleweed. It has KDE software well integrated and as it is a rolling release it has latest releases quickly. And it heavily uses QA so they test packages before being released into repositories so it is also one of the most stable rolling release distros. And if despite this something goes wring there is BTRFS snappshoting integrated into package management and GRUB, so it is easy to revert to a working one

     #KDE #Linux

     @alto @jarek Not my experience at all. and I am running it for about two years now on three computers. On one computer even have it with KDE Unstable repositories enabled. And in all this time it only happened two times I had to boot into a previous snapshot. One time because Mesa had some bug specific to my video card and it would crash. And one time because there was something wrong with QML caches incompatibility or something.

     @JRepin @jarek i would strongly contest the claim that tumbleweed is a very stable rolling release distro. I've ran it with KDE since August and I've had at least 5 instances where I had to reboot multiple times to get back to my desktop, for instance having the login manager crash, and KDE forgetting settings, as well as the system not booting properly at all. I'm really not impressed and am just foaming at the mouth to get my hands on Slowroll instead.
