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/kinoite

    So you could rebase to it using: $ rpm-ostree rebase fedora:fedora/40/x86_64/kinoite

    PSA: 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 typing rpm-ostree remote refs fedora and 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.
