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.

Nice. I've been running Plasma 6 on my Arch test laptop. Not a huge visual difference, but it works fairly well.

The most notable changes are probably HDR and color management, but most people can't take advantage of it anyway. Although the list of changes includes many quality of life improvements like enabling tap to click by default.
