Not debian based, but is KDE - Fedora Kionite

d3Xt3r,

As others have said, there’s Vanilla and Endless, but both use GNOME.

Is there a reason why it has to be Debian? With an immutable distro, you won’t be using traditional package managers anyway (like apt), all have the same stability factor, and with the same systemd + KDE, it’s more or less the same experience regardless of which distro you go for.

One of the key usage patterns of an immutable distro is using a container to install your extra packages. So you could go for a Fedora-based immutable KDE distro like Kinoite, and set up a Debian container where you can use apt and other Debian tools.

max641,

Let me try Kionite.

albert180,

I don’t get the whole immutable hype. Sounds like it’s just more a PITA to use

Depends on the use case. I played around with it a lot and came to the conclusion that I don't like flatpaks and the base system is not flexible enough for me.

I use it as a self-updating desktop for my parents tho,. For that it's absolutely perfect.

juli,

At furst it’s PITA but once you understand the workflow, it’s awesome. Imo,better tgan traditional

VanillaOS looks interesting - it uses Gnome by default, though.

SSUPII,

Have a look at this repository github.com/castrojo/awesome-immutable

It has a very nice list of immutable distributions you can check out!

If you want another Debian based name, one can be EndlessOS. But it runs GNOME instead.

Vanilla OS is moving to Debian with version 2. I don’tthink they have a KDE version, though.

Piwix,

There is a KDE flavor in development for vanilla but its not publicly available yet

Ah, that’s good to know. Thanks for the info!
