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.

So hyped for Plasma 6

Plasma 6 has been shaping up to real nice. Excited to try it when it launches in Feb.

Kudos to the entire team for doing so much of the leg work.

Post says it's ready as a daily driver. I want to help with bug reporting, is it good enough to replace current fedora plasma or should I wait for a beta?

Well, it's pre-alpha so expect a lot of problems

Maybe it's just me, but I love KDE5 so much I'm just not looking forward to 6.
