Questions...<br>
<br>
1. Regular Fedora KDE 43 has the same KDE/kernel versions, but after
few updates. So, what's the point of "atomic" when it's updated
like the regular?<br>
<br>
2. Can you install new packages in Kinoite? And, if you "revert" to
old version of OS, then what happens to the new packages?<br>

<div>I'm running Fedora Kinoite. I have Linux 6.17.12, Plasma
6.5.4.</div>
<div>This matches Debian testing, so it's up to date.</div>

<div> I've been looking for a distro with recent KDE and recent
kerne<b>l</b>. So, the benchmark was <b>Kubuntu</b> 25.10
(v6.4 KDE, v6.17 kernel).</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 1. Started with <b>Mint</b> + "<span class="font"
style="font-family:monospace;">apt install kde-full</span>".
Result was comparable to Kubuntu LTS, ie. v5.27 KDE, v6.14
kernel. Makes sense, since Mint is based on Ubuntu LTS.</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 2. Then, tried <b>LMDE</b> + "<span class="font"
style="font-family:monospace;">apt install kde-full</span>".
I was surprised to get a rather recent v6.3 KDE with v6.12
kernel. I was expecting an old KDE, even older than Mint
version.</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> 3. So, decided to try <b>Debian</b> <b>testing</b> +
KDE. I got v6.5.4 KDE (latest) and v6.17.12 kernel. Not bad.</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> Right now, <b>Debian testing</b> is compiling v6.12.62
and v6.18.1 kernels for Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. We'll see how
it goes.</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div> To those using Debian testing, how would you rate its
stability? Is it suitable for daily PC?</div>
