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.

Excellent progress was made this week towards the goal of full sound theme support in Plasma 6, among other topics–including some important performance work for KWin!

It’s a petty stupid thing for me to get hung up on - but I just find the icons and theming in KDE to be so, so ugly and dated. It stops me from ever really digging in to give it the try it almost certainly deserves.

I get wanting a distro to look modern and cool by default. One that I like a lot that uses a modified KDE is Nitrux https://nxos.org
