My concept for a fully integrated KDE Plasma operating system

But I want a cohesive system!

Sure, 100% is utopic, but we should still try - otherwise, I fear, we mig end up with garbled mix like windows :frowning:

Yeah, you do, and surely you can still try.

That only shows the opposite of what you want it to show. AI is famous for making mistakes, so when you write 2 + 2 = 5, it only shows you are AI. :grinning_face:

So back to the original topic:

What you want with Kinit, Kash (Terminal Prompt), Emergency Mode and Live ISO and Installation can be achieved with custom configuration of software that already exists.

KPM (KDE Package Manager) with .kpi (KDE Package Installer) Internal Structure.

can’t we do all of that with flatpak already?

Pre-configured Linux Kernel & Enhanced Desktop Environment

No idea what you actually mean to change.

KDE System Preferences

I agree that there is room for improvement when it comes to handling system defaults and the stuff you mentioned (e.g. boot). All good feature requests for SystemSettings.

For the record: I think you’re probably not an AI, but I have agree with others that your text’s writing style reads more like a salespitch that something a developer can act on.

This is the thing - you’re talking about long timelines, during which some things are outdated before they even get implemented.

AerynOS is an interesting project, if that starts gaining real traction I’m thinking we’ll be dropping the more traditional models pretty quickly.

But as it stands, for the KDE team there’s nothing actionable in there.

Now if anyone has a good idea that’s small and specific and actionable, that’s welcome… but this is fluff and not really worth the time taken to read it.

… are very verbose. One thing apple* (and to a lesser android and gnome) get right is how intuitive their interface is. It very easy to find what you are looking for and go back to what the user was doing - the reason a person is using the machine in the first place.

The kde layout is fantastic (and more pleasurable than gnome’s), throwing everything in, as it was designed to do from the beginning - a complete command line replacement, but can be confusing or gets in the way when all options are not needed always.

I am not the only person that has noticed this.

I looked at AerynOS a couple years ago, and I agree that there are ideas that seem nice, and I also agree that there’s not much there, again not reading the code or playing with the system.

That being said I do not like that they purport not to support dual-boot. Maybe it can be done, maybe not. The new “immutable” thing where you have to give your whole disk is an anti-pattern, as well “as download the ISO”.

That’s all for this topic.
