What's everyones opinion of the two? I enjoy KDE Plasma and want to use an Ubuntu based system but don't have any experience with these two distros.

Ah okay. That makes sense. I have been using Fedora Kinoite on my test laptop and really enjoy Plasma 6 but I need it Ubuntu based so I can use Golden Cheetah with Ant+ devices. GC's documentation focuses on Ubuntu based systems and I got it working on Linux Mint, my main laptop. I just like Plasma more than Cinnamon and am slowly changing all my systems over.

Thank you!

If the software you have to run is specifically designed for one distro (e.g. something that's only in the AUR, or written for Debian) you can use Distrobox.

This creates a small, lightweight container that allows you to run any software from all distros on your host.

I, for example, use Fedora Atomic, and I mostly use an Arch container that's fully customized for me, including having the AUR enabled.

If you liked Kinoite, then you can still consider it and run your stuff via Distrobox

The program itself is an AppImage but I couldn't figure out how to get Ant+ devices (cycle trainer and heartrate strap) working on a distro besides GC's documentation for Ubuntu. It worked for me on Mint, I just want to transition to a Plasma DE. Does this look like something you would know how to get working on Kinoite?

@sic_semper_tyrannis
Tuxedo OS is Ubuntu based and runs Plasma 6. Maybe worth a look?

I will give that a look. Thanks for the tip!
