Looking for a normie KDE distro that works out of the box and is stable without issues.

    Fedora Kinoite, specifically the version from universal-blue.org.

    It comes with all codecs (and even baked in Nvidia-driver if you want!).

    Why that and not the normal (mutable) Fedora Workstation KDE spin?

    • Very simple by default. You basically only “own” your home directory, the rest is indestructible and taken care of.
    • Has less bugs due to better reproducibility, and if something major should break, you can easily roll back without any waiting time (as opposed to Tumbleweed)
    • And you can even rebase to Bazzite, a gaming distro, that’s based on the uBlue KDE version, or any other spin it you want cleanly
    • Pantherina@feddit.de

      This. Or, nowadays secureblue Kinoite!

      Its a hardened Variant of ublue kinoitr, but I tested it and especially using the “userns” variants, a lot works

      • flatpak
      • virtual machines
      • fingerprint sensor

      “userns” means user namespaces, a technology used by browsers, flatpak and Podman/Docker/Toolbox/Distrobox to create Sandboxes, isolating processes. It is used by default on Fedora, so these variants are pretty much like regular Fedora.

      Dont think a secure Distro is user-unfriendly. It works pretty normal, but is simply way more secure.

      If you want to use Firefox or Torbrowser, install their binaries.
