For me the best KDE software integration is in openSUSE, also love their YaST graphical control center and BTRFS filesystem snappshoting integration with the package manager and the control center. Second best distro for me is Fedora KDE.
Same here for the last couple of years. KDE Plasma is by far the best computer desktop environment and getting even better fast. Complete opposite to closed corporate desktops on Windows and macOS which are quite bad these days and getting even worse. Corporate desktop ensittification is in full swing for years now. I am so glad for the wonderful KDE Plasma desktop (and GNU/Linux oprating system in general), which still respects my basic human rights like freedom, privacy and does not try to push that Annoying Idiocy down my throat. Thanks a bunch to all free software developers for making all this possible.
Yup completely sick of all this and all the harm it already produces, be it environmental or webhosting where they DOS you server scraping everything on it, or fake "AI" generated bug reports and other spam for FOSS projects or all the money it sucks out of really useful and really socially beneficial projects where money (and other resources, including attention) would be much smarter spent on. I hope all this "AI" or annoying idiocy hype crashes soon.
Hopefully they are real smart and replace it with transparent, verifiable, privacy respecting, freedoms respecting, neutral software: Free software and open source.
Barely upgraded to 6.14 and a new version is here. They are coming so fast. Have they shortened the time between new versions or is it just my feeling?
Awesome, Can't wait until we get rid of bloated spyware that is Windows and move to more open and privacy-respecting platforms. Hopefully also the expanding availability of GNU/Linux mean more properly made native games.
Nope. Much easier for me and actually possible to use a Linux distro without systemd, but it is almost impossible to do it without GNU tools. Also the principles and values of freedom and openness and promotion of those are much stronger with GNU than with systemd.
> but it is almost impossible to do it without GNU tools
Yes it is (https://chimera-linux.org/) and even if they're are on the OS, they're not the most important part of the userland, they're there for CLI users to use. They're not important for setting up the userland, systemd is.

I don't think that's relevant in the context of a proprietary distro.
