    Man, I almost want to say “I love it”. Remove the “snap” and the “immutable” and I’m all in.
    Almost there 🤏🏽

      There’s KDE Neon already. The whole point of this distribution is the atomic immutable part.

        Neon isn’t arch based, which is why this one piqued my interest.

      I don’t understand why people want immutable. I don’t know all that much about Linux but on my Steamdeck it keeps getting in the way anytime I try to do anything

        Some people like it, I don’t like and will never mess with it. I do understand why some folks like it. It’s basically for those who want a system that’ll never break to a point where they can’t access their data. I just can’t use it

    I think gnome is working on the same sort of thing, read here.

    I’m glad to see both going for an immutable os with flatpaks. It’s so much more user friendly for the average person and if you are more technically inclined distrobox makes it a breeze to use it like a regular linux desktop.

    I hope both do well

    Makes sense that it includes snap given that KDE officially supports their apps packaged as snaps, unlike Gnome.

    If I recall correctly, aren’t they going for an Arch base? I assume they’re going to be enabling AppArmor so that the snap sandboxing is mostly working, except for the patches Canonical have failed to upstream so far.
