      That was my experience a month or two ago but last week I had no problem installing Neon unstable on a test system and it was amazingly stable though far from perfect.

      That said, the developers using Plasma 6 obviously compile it themselves, yes.

      I assume you tested it in a virtual machine? Because of a bug in Mesa KWin’s rendering in VMs without hardware acceleration is very broken right now

        On my stupid Amd Thinkpad I have no virtualized GPU at all, so all VMs are a total pain. But on the new try it was literally the Neon Installer not finding user@user and cancelling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
