Crazy! Also I found the installer to be pretty weird.
I think I got it working now, the LUKS screen is blue and shows an error...
And Fedora Kinoite is not Beta at all. Its just as stable as KDE can be it seems, it has some weird timing bugs sometimes, but it works well and is very up to date.
Ublue is also essential, it bloats it a bit but thats nessecary.
Really its great! No you cant use a mutable OS for years. Immutable? No problem! You can even switch desktops, upgrade and downgrade versions, try the beta and switch back,...
Its still very hackable. /etc is changeable for example. You can layer RPMs and hack around installing SDDM themes using Lunas awesome sddm2rpm.
And still its secure, has zero-downtime updates and its modern.
Just trying out OpenSuse microOS currently, as an alternative to Fedora Kinoite, and the installer doesnt even load.
I dont like Ubuntus variant of Gnome. I think GNOME can look good but its apps are often horrible. Mint has a better set of simple but powerful tools.
But I would stay with anything rocking KDE. I recommend fedora Kinoite fro ublue.it (better video previews and working RPM firefox basically), its a really great distro.
No you dont but you have no social life in that case. People sharing playlists with you, looking up music quickly... personally I dont need it, but its a bubble poorly
Always annoy your local infrastructure IT devs! It cant be that all these apps dont even have an FDroid repo. They can ship any binary they want its just if they actually want it!
