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.

Mostly positive althought there has been no shortage of bugs. That said, when I did a clean installation (not an upgrade), most of them disappeared, so I guess I'd recommend a fresh install. I still wouldn't say it's as stable as Gnome or Cinnamon, but the trajectory KDE have been on when it comes to making their DE less janky has been amazing recently.
There's been a lot of subtle UI improvements that make KDE feel a lot less disjointed, although you still see it here and there.
The improvements to the overview (Gnome activities view clone) are great.
Compared to the absolute shit show that was Plasma 4 and 5 for their initial releases, Plasma 6 is amazing. It's still not my DE of choice, but I keep it on one of my systems just to see the progress.
