I currently use Fedora Kinoite and until Plasma 6 some major bugs will simply not be fixed. “Solved in Plasma 6” is a very common phrase now and that is okay.

But maybe once that is settled, I would like to have a system with tested packages, that doesnt always break and annoy me…

I love to see new features and especially KDE is simply best on modern Distros, currently. But with Nix and Flathub I think CentOS Stream should be a good mix?

I like the security settings it has, but I never used it. How good is EPEL, do external repos for things like Brave work? How old are packages, do you know when Plasma 6 will arrive there?

      I love OpenSUSE Leap KDE! Been using it on my living room.

      But the question still stand: Any RHEL-based with first-class KDE support?

          I personally (and professionally) use Debian/Ubuntu based most of the time. I’ve tried Fedora several times over the last few years, but it just never sit right with me, especially the package manager and how much it sticks to GNOME stuff, even with its KDE spin.

          I’ve been trying to get into RHEL based out of curiosity.

            Isn’t the package manager the same on CentOS/RHEL and Fedora? I mean, they are all rpm based distributions. OpenSUSE is also rpm based btw.

              That is true, RHEL and Fedora both uses dnf. This is probably why I’m having a hard time getting into RHEL.

              Meanwhile, OpenSUSE uses zypper which is different from dnf. In fact some .rpm packages are incompatible between the two.
