Bharath M. Palavalli<p>I recently came across <a href="https://akademy.kde.org/news/2024-09_akademy-2024-report/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">akademy.kde.org/news/2024-09_a</span><span class="invisible">kademy-2024-report/</span></a> and a small piece caught my eye, "One way to achieve the desired level of integration is to control the entire software stack, right down to the operating system. This is also in the works for KDE, as Harald Sitter is working on a new technologically advanced operating system tentatively named KDE Linux". Has anyone tried it?
