KDE Linux: An Immutable Arch-Based Distro Aims for Bulletproof Stability

KDE has unveiled KDE Linux, a brand-new, ambitious Linux distribution built on Arch Linux – not a replacement for KDE Neon. This immutable distro features dual read-only Btrfs root partitions, updating like a smartphone OS with whole-system image replacements. Designed for superior stability and security, it's currently pre-alpha, with limitations including a lack of Secure Boot support and Nvidia driver compatibility issues. While early testing reveals bugs (like desktop crashes on login), its radical design and commitment to robustness make it a promising project.
