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.

I installed it on my endeavour laptop last night and apart from reconfiguring my dock-like panel and weather widget, it's all been plain sailing so far. Now I just need Tumbleweed to release it so I can update my main desktop!
Had to set one up for myself because Latte Dock seems to be fully dead on 6 🥲
Yeah, it won't have been ported to Qt 6 and if IIRC widgets and plasmoids work differently now.

Hmm . . . this explains why my SDDM login screen was throwing weird errors and none of the old splash screens are available in the native store.
My Endeavour laptop got it today. Couple of tweaks and it was running perfectly.
Funny you mention desktop: I've been waiting for Plasma 6 before rebuilding my Ubuntu desktop with Endeavour. Didn't want to jump the gun, find out that it impacts gaming performance, and then have to rebuild back again. :) Guess I have a desktop to rebuild now...
I reinstalled EndeavourOS on my main desktop yesterday, fresh install, just for Plasma 6. So far, big worth it even though I have a lot to set up still.
