@iaintshootinmis I recommend Fedora KDE personally and use it pretty much everywhere. It's a high-quality @kde experience on @fedora that is distinguished by both being stable and being fresh. The latest KDE Plasma software is shipped to users and Fedora works closely with KDE to develop the future of the experience together. And the community around Fedora KDE is awesome.

Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop

The Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop Edition is a powerful Fedora-based operating system utilizing the KDE Plasma Desktop as the main user interface. Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop comes with many pre-selected top quality applications that suit all modern desktop use cases - from online communication like web browsing, instant messaging and electronic mail correspondence, through multimedia and entertainment, to an advanced productivity suite, including office applications and enterprise grade personal information management. All KDE applications are well integrated, with a similar look and feel and an easy to use interface, accompanied by an outstanding graphical appearance.

@Conan_Kudo I'm currently on Kubuntu and have considered moving over to Fedora KDE. Help me convince myself to get over the edge to move. 😆

@dennis I don't know what'd convince you to move, but here are the reasons I think it's awesome:

- Latest stable KDE software all the time
- Close relationship with KDE developers
- Wayland by default
- PipeWire for audio
- Easy to collaborate and contribute to

@Conan_Kudo latest KDE is a good one. I had to wait for months to get the big update fixing the weird multiple displays issue. I used Windows until it was released.

I don't know the difference between Wayland and X(?). And why Wayland is better to its alternative.

@dennis KDE Plasma Wayland provides a newer graphics architecture that is simpler, more performant, and offers capabilities that weren't possible before, such as:

- Different DPI per display
- Variable Refresh Rate (FreeSync/G-SYNC)
- (Eventually) HDR

Wayland is the basis of the modern graphics pipeline for KDE Plasma, while X11 is the legacy one.

@Conan_Kudo that sounds very promising. I like that. :D
