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.

I'm currently looking for a new OS, coming from KDE neon and I like it, but the fact I have to FUCKING restart because someone decided to push an OS update that broke my previous install, now the OS freezes my whole PC (never did before!) and I have to restart.

I'm looking for good apps support so Debian? Idk Using it for daily usage (Android/games development) and gaming.

I'm also looking for:

Wobbly windows (yes useless but cool lol)
Good customization
KDE connect support (a must)
Krunner or equivalent (MacOS like search)
Idk?

Thank you!

it sounds like you're looking for kubuntu since it checks off every one of those bullet points.

I'll see if someone suggests me anything else and I'll try it. Not sure if it has the apps menu at full screen (macOS style) or not, not a big deal though

Not a fan of Macbooks but Idk how to explain it otherwise

i used to use the baghira kde theme and it mimics the unified system/apps menu that osx uses.

it's a bit dated so you'll have to look for something newer and i would be surprised if it doesn't already exist somewhere
