Or use nixpkgs.

Or glorious nixos.

Ok I understood it as there is a live disk with kde as an option. Or you can install kde on installation. Like debian, fedora or nixos

Ah ok. So basically any bigger distro.

I haven’t actually found one that doesn’t have kde.

What is a “KDE based distro”?

If you have to you can, sometimes. But you should use alternatives, if possible.

I knew it was a troll post.

1. Company called Linux

2. Only mentioned programs that work in Linux

3. The general way of writing

For some reason I use YouTube music most of the time.

Vlc would be my choice for local. And maybe a jellyfin for my server.

I tried single gpu passthrough. In theory it should work that with some settings you unload the driver and give it to the vm and then back.

However I couldn’t get working without ending on the login screen and starting a new session. So there waw no point for me if I can’t keep my software running.

KDE 6 ON ARCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED

That issue is older, but even worse since chatgpt

You need to limit the options.

Linux systems

• Debian (stable, almost no bloatware, user unfriendly, apt)

• ArchLinux (unstable, bleeding edge software, user unfriendly, pacman)

• RHEL/ Fedora (semi-stable, newer software, relatively user friendly, dnf)

Then at max list 3 Systems that derive from each main OS.

Like

Debian: Ubuntu, Mint, PoP!OS ArchLinux: manjaro… Fedora: Nobara…

Where each should be user friendly to use. Also explain what stable means, like that unstable doesn’t mean removed breaks on a regular basis but rather it can sometimes happen. Normal desktop users don’t need the stability of Debian. But it is nice to have if you can live with outdated software (if it isn’t already on flatpak).

The testing branch is at most 3 weeks old. I get new software, not the newest. Kde plasma has a auto update function that works on bootup. (though I usually go into sleep mode and therefore update often by hand.)

Yes debian is pretty plain and empty but once configured it works. Sure I would recommend Mint to people who don’t like to configure. However the Mint(debian) version is lacking a lot and there is no testing branch you can safely run of.

Of course debian.

However pure debian needs some love before you can use it.

If you want to use steam. Enable 32 bit arch.

If you want to use flatpak. You need to install it and add the default repo.

To install kde plasma you need only a single apt command.

I personally run debian-testing/Trixie.

Usually I install:

• Steam
• flatpak
• discord
• gimp
• vlc
• lutris
• protonupQ
• protontricks

The rest I install once I need it. Plasma delivers also many of my programs.

Debian-trixie is pretty up to date and flatpak fills the holes perfectly.

Especially you should make sure you don’t pick the wrong partition as it would wipe your linux system

Mee too

I mean people already answered your question, but I want to know why you want to leave kde plasma? It was the best I have found (after gnome, but in gnome I can’t change removed)

Well of course you can use proxmox or tuenas but for “more performance” I would just setup qemu to pass through gpus and input to the vm.

However I don’t know if this is worth the hassle.

I don’t know what you are trying to do, but you could setup a gpu less Linux base System and then use a virtual machine to actually run your daily os. If this makes things easier
