Recently I wrote about Fossa Puppy Linux. In this tutorial, we’ll see how to install KaOS Linux on Computer as main OS.
KaOS is an Arch Linux derivative that focuses only on KDE Plasma, as it intends to deliver users an impressive, speedy all-Plasma experience. In this guide, we’ll show you how to get up and running with the latest KaOS.
Thus, KaOS only supports a very limited selection of programs, moreover, it is willingly kept low by developers in order to improve quality rather than quantity. This project provides a modern computing experience that neatly organizes open source applications that are hand-picked for common tasks.
One of the important features is that it not only allows beginner users to install an operating system with just a few mouse clicks but also provides advanced configuration options for experienced Linux users. Few of the default applications of KaOS are Falcon web browser, Libre office suite, Krita digital paint software, Elisa music player, Plasma Media Center, Mpv/SMP video player and more.
KaOS uses Systemd-boot provided by Systemd for UEFI installation, and also includes a KaOS specific tool IsoWriter for writing ISO files to USB.
Note: installing KaOS on your computer should go off without any trouble. However, to be safe, please consider making a backup of your data by putting it on an external USB flash drive or Hard drive.
