Few Question

[Drokas]

Hey fellow ublue community!

I’ve been a Linux user for a long while since Ubuntu 14.04 and recently arch have been giving me a few issues, and since then I’ve been looking into Aurora, looks really good and promising.

The questions I have are the following:

2 - How stable/usable is KDE in a immutable environment?

Drokas
