What is KaOS Linux
KaOS is a desktop Linux distribution that features the latest version of the KDE Plasma desktop environment, the Calligra office suite, and other popular software applications that use the Qt toolkit. It was inspired by Arch Linux, but the developers build their own packages. KaOS Linux is built exclusively for 64-bit computer systems.KaOS Linux Website: https://kaosx.us/
