raises pendantic finger Ah-hem, sorry, but KDE Plasma isn't an OS. It's a desktop environment. For an OS bundled/built-around Plasma then Kubuntu or KDE Neon are both Linux distributions that would better fit that description.

We could call it Plasma/Linux or as I've recently taken to calling it, Plasma plus Linux.

Thank you for interjecting.

KDE's plasma centered Linux Operating system. So to not be overly pedantic, I stuck with what this lemmy post was about. I didn't say the plasma desktop environment was an OS.

I said "a linux operating system made by the KDE team" in which the KDE team referenced their OS as Plasma in the Mastodon post, or "toot," shown in this lemmy post.

Or a GNU operating system with a Linux kernel and KDE desktop environment

But that's a mouthful

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.
