Is Fedora Kionite shipping with KDE6 yet?
Is Fedora Kionite shipping with KDE6 yet?
It's distrohop time. Want to go immutable for the first time. But waiting for KDE6.
Fedora will not get Plasma 6 until 40 releases next month in April.
I believe it is planned for Fedora 40 Kinoite: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/40/ChangeSet#KDE_Plasma_6
There seems to be a Fedora 40 Kinoite ref available:
$ ostree remote refs fedora | grep kinoite | grep x86_64 fedora:fedora/35/x86_64/kinoite fedora:fedora/35/x86_64/updates/kinoite ..... fedora:fedora/40/x86_64/kinoite fedora:fedora/40/x86_64/testing/kinoiteSo you could rebase to it using:
$ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/40/x86_64/kinoitePSA:
I have not tried this ref myself.This also assumes you will be running on a x86_64 based system.Edit: I just tried the above in a VM and can confirm that the Fedora 40 Kinoite ref does indeed have Plasma 6 running. Fedora obviously does not consider this ref stable yet though
It is planned for F40, which will be there in 1-2 Months.
BUT, I already use F40 beta (Edit: alpha) on Atomic KDE.Just install Kinoite normally, and then rebase to
fedora:fedora/40/x86-64/kinoite(or however it is spelled) after typingrpm-ostree remote refs fedoraand selecting the right variant.I personally had a good experience in the last days with it and it feels absolutely usable.
Maybe wait until the stable release, then you can use uBlue, which gives you a saner configuration for the start.@Guenther_Amanita @bdonvr Fedora 40 is not in Beta yet only in Alpha until later in March
Oh, yeah, you're right. It will hit beta in a week or two. Thanks for the correction.

I'm running kde6 on fedora rawhide kinoite, it's pretty stable.
Minor point of clarification though, kinoite isn't immutable ootb, it's atomic (which is to say it either fully updates or doesn't. Immutable is an experimental setting you can enable though)
