in case anyone else was curious about the overlap with KDE neon:

> Differences from KDE neon/Prior art

> KDE neon was KDE's first version of a self-made OS.

> It fulfills the "distributed by KDE" requirement, but fails on the reliability angle due to the Ubuntu LTS base that ironically becomes unstable because it needs to be tinkered with to get Plasma to build on it, breaking the LTS promise.

> It is built on fairly old technology and requires a lot of packaging busywork — both of which are non-goals of KDE Linux. [0]

Without looking I knew that it would be like Fedora Silverblue boosting Gnome and Flatpak but a la KDE. No, Kinoite is not the same.

Ooo and now I need to take a look :)

I've been a big fan of KDE these past few years so super excited to see this develop further.

    > Vendor-specific VPNs that require custom out-of-tree kernel modules that cannot be redistributed with the kernel due to license incompatibility

God I hope this isn't another immutable os that mullvad won't work on. The lack of mullvad vpn on my steamdeck is a constant pain in my side.

Other noticeable hiccups right now are giant updates aka no delta updates, no secure boot, no swap space.

    > Doesn't break, or at least easy to recover... KDE Linux leans on Systemd for a great deal of functionality. 
    > Updates are atomic and A/B image-based, with automatic Btrfs snapshots for the last 5 OS images...

I've been wanting to get automatic snapshot restore/boot shortcuts through the systemd-boot menu ever since I lost the feature when I switched from GRUB! Super excited to hear someone finally got it working with btrfs and systemd-boot.

Can anyone point me to any hints/resources on how I can get this added to my current arch+kde+btrfs+systemd-boot
