What's the most stable distro for trying out plasma, any recommendations would be good. Ideally I'd like to run Steam games. Another question, does plasma use Wayland?
- albingroen 1y agoI use it with Arch and it’s very stable. It does use Wayland.
- jaykru 1y agoCachyOS is a great way to get started. Plasma has both X11 and Wayland backends.
- fsmv 1y agoIt is preinstalled on steam deck
- LorenDB 1y agoBazzite is basically a third-party SteamOS clone that is intended to run on all devices. It has a Plasma version available. https://bazzite.gg https://bazzite.gg
- omnimus 1y agoI would agree that immutable atomic linux desktop is the future. I would go broader than Bazzite and say you can pick from whole range of similar flavors that might fit you a bit better https://universal-blue.org/ https://universal-blue.org/ for example https://getaurora.dev/en https://getaurora.dev/en is KDE. It's worth saying that one advantage of atomic linux is that you can easily switch between the flavors.
- kombine 1y agoFedora KDE edition is quite stable for me, though it is cutting edge.
- steve1977 1y agoIn my experience, Fedora strikes quite a good balance. It’s cutting edge, but not bleeding edge ;)
- samgranieri 1y agoI’m enjoying using Kubuntu. Yes it runs on Wayland.
- temp0826 1y agoKDE recently created their own distro called neon. https://neon.kde.org/ https://neon.kde.org/
- kwk1 1y agoKDE Linux is the new one, Neon's been around for years. https://kde.org/linux/ https://kde.org/linux/
- temp0826 1y agoAh my bad, I never looked much into it I guess (haven't used a full DE in years). Apparently neon is built on Ubuntu and KDE Linux is a new immutable-based thing. (They don't list it at https://kde.org/distributions/ https://kde.org/distributions/ and it's not exactly easy to search for with that name..!)
