Well, Mint could just fall back to LMDE if Ubuntu starts going the same direction as RHEL and starts account-walling their source code and blocking redistribution under the penalty of an account ban, but I don’t know about other Ubuntu clones.
KDE Linux is an “immutable base OS” Linux distro created using Arch Linux packages, but it should not be considered an “Arch-based distro”; Arch is simply a means to an end, and KDE Linux doesn’t even ship with the pacman package manager.
KDE Linux leans on Systemd for a great deal of functionality. Updates are atomic and image-based, with the last 5 OS images cached on disk. Only the Wayland session is supported. Apps primarily come from Flatpak.
I probably won’t use it for the simple fact that it will likely use the rolling release style of updates. I am more of a stable release fella myself, so I think I’ll stick to LMDE.

Look at rocky linux and alma linux even if they restrict code, ubuntu foss won’t die, but debian base seem more sustainable.
Many Debian developers work for Ubuntu IIRC.
But KDE Neon :(
Kde is building their own non ubuntu Linux distro, pretty cool imo
Oooh, what is it called? Does it have a name yet?
Note that KDE Linux is completely different from Neon:
/usris a read-only, atomically updatederofsvolume backed by a single file, allowing rollback to any of the last 5 OS imagesI love the direction they’re going with it, but I personally won’t be running it because I like to tinker.

They disagree with calling it arch based:

Yeah KDE linux
