KaOS - The Frankenstein of Linux

hello everybody this is teca this is hello everybody this is teca this is going to be more of a first impression going to be more of a first impression going to be more of a first impression and overview type video going over chaos and overview type video going over chaos and overview type video going over chaos or kos not completely sure but this is a or kos not completely sure but this is a or kos not completely sure but this is a lean kd distribution we're going to be lean kd distribution we're going to be lean kd distribution we're going to be talking about what makes it unique talking about what makes it unique talking about what makes it unique specifically if we head over to this specifically if we head over to this specifically if we head over to this page it is a independent distribution page it is a independent distribution page it is a independent distribution but it is heavily inspired by arch linux but it is heavily inspired by arch linux but it is heavily inspired by arch linux it is a rolling release distribution it it is a rolling release distribution it it is a rolling release distribution it uses pacman for the package manager but uses pacman for the package manager but uses pacman for the package manager but it has a really nice combination of it has a really nice combination of it has a really nice combination of other packages from other distributions other packages from other distributions other packages from other distributions to make a full and complete operating to make a full and complete operating to make a full and complete operating system if we go down here they talk system if we go down here they talk system if we go down here they talk about just that pacman is used but they about just that pacman is used but they about just that pacman is used but they also have components such as gfx boot also have components such as gfx boot also have components such as gfx boot from opensouza in addition to from opensouza in addition to from opensouza in addition to imagewriter and h1 info and the hardware imagewriter and h1 info and the hardware imagewriter and h1 info and the hardware database is from the gen2 developer database is from the gen2 developer database is from the gen2 developer systemd originally came from ferdora so systemd originally came from ferdora so systemd originally came from ferdora so just a whole bunch of different packages just a whole bunch of different packages just a whole bunch of different packages like i said combined to make this a like i said combined to make this a like i said combined to make this a independent distribution if we go over independent distribution if we go over independent distribution if we go over to packages we can see some of the to packages we can see some of the to packages we can see some of the repositories you have apps build core repositories you have apps build core repositories you have apps build core and main and here you can go ahead and and main and here you can go ahead and and main and here you can go ahead and kind of browse through all the kind of browse through all the kind of browse through all the applications they have available in the applications they have available in the applications they have available in the repositories which they do host repositories which they do host repositories which they do host themselves they have pretty good and themselves they have pretty good and themselves they have pretty good and extensive documentation including the extensive documentation including the extensive documentation including the install hardware setup and all that fun install hardware setup and all that fun install hardware setup and all that fun stuff i already have this installed so stuff i already have this installed so stuff i already have this installed so i'm not going to bore you walking i'm not going to bore you walking i'm not going to bore you walking through the installation process through the installation process through the installation process it's pretty standard the main highlights it's pretty standard the main highlights it's pretty standard the main highlights where it allows you to pick if you want where it allows you to pick if you want where it allows you to pick if you want to install libreoffice no office suite to install libreoffice no office suite to install libreoffice no office suite or if you want to use their minimal or if you want to use their minimal or if you want to use their minimal installer in addition it lets you pick installer in addition it lets you pick installer in addition it lets you pick if you want to install a bootloader or if you want to install a bootloader or if you want to install a bootloader or not so that's pretty cool and other than

not so that's pretty cool and other than not so that's pretty cool and other than that it's all pretty standard another that it's all pretty standard another that it's all pretty standard another thing that's cool is within the dialogue thing that's cool is within the dialogue thing that's cool is within the dialogue that starts when the system starts up that starts when the system starts up that starts when the system starts up during installation it gives you an during installation it gives you an during installation it gives you an installation guide which will kind of installation guide which will kind of installation guide which will kind of help you through that process and if i help you through that process and if i help you through that process and if i head over here to news we can see that head over here to news we can see that head over here to news we can see that there is a release recently where it was there is a release recently where it was there is a release recently where it was uh this month which goes over a lot of uh this month which goes over a lot of uh this month which goes over a lot of the system changes calamaris is the the system changes calamaris is the the system changes calamaris is the installer they use it's gotten some installer they use it's gotten some installer they use it's gotten some significant updates it's using a plasma significant updates it's using a plasma significant updates it's using a plasma 5.25 which is awesome speaking of one 5.25 which is awesome speaking of one 5.25 which is awesome speaking of one thing i'm going to do real quick here thing i'm going to do real quick here thing i'm going to do real quick here let's fix this this is the default let's fix this this is the default let's fix this this is the default configuration i'm going to enter edit configuration i'm going to enter edit configuration i'm going to enter edit mode mode mode and let's put that where it belongs in and let's put that where it belongs in and let's put that where it belongs in my opinion and then maybe make this a my opinion and then maybe make this a my opinion and then maybe make this a little bit bigger so you all can see it little bit bigger so you all can see it little bit bigger so you all can see it there we go that's much better it is a there we go that's much better it is a there we go that's much better it is a little cut off but that's little cut off but that's little cut off but that's the fault of my recording software and the fault of my recording software and the fault of my recording software and in this little news page it goes over a in this little news page it goes over a in this little news page it goes over a lot of things we covered in our plasma lot of things we covered in our plasma lot of things we covered in our plasma video so i'm not going to cover all the video so i'm not going to cover all the video so i'm not going to cover all the plasma changes if you want to check that plasma changes if you want to check that plasma changes if you want to check that out you can check out that video linked out you can check out that video linked out you can check out that video linked down below under here under common notes down below under here under common notes down below under here under common notes we can see that there's a iso writer we can see that there's a iso writer we can see that there's a iso writer utility it talks about the libreoffice utility it talks about the libreoffice utility it talks about the libreoffice update personally i opted not to install update personally i opted not to install update personally i opted not to install it they have some of their own custom it they have some of their own custom it they have some of their own custom software that we're going to be diving software that we're going to be diving software that we're going to be diving into and everything you're seeing on into and everything you're seeing on into and everything you're seeing on screen right now will be linked down screen right now will be linked down screen right now will be linked down below and because this is a kde plasma below and because this is a kde plasma below and because this is a kde plasma focus distro one of the selling points focus distro one of the selling points focus distro one of the selling points to this is to this is to this is all the development efforts are put into all the development efforts are put into all the development efforts are put into kde plasma and maintaining it and making kde plasma and maintaining it and making kde plasma and maintaining it and making sure that you're going to get a good sure that you're going to get a good sure that you're going to get a good experience with this specific desktop experience with this specific desktop experience with this specific desktop environment with this distro so there's environment with this distro so there's environment with this distro so there's no other resources going to other no other resources going to other no other resources going to other editions like a gnome xfce or anything

environment let's go ahead and desktop environment let's go ahead and check out this application right here check out this application right here check out this application right here this is basically their welcome screen this is basically their welcome screen this is basically their welcome screen you can see a little toggle right here you can see a little toggle right here you can see a little toggle right here to launch on system start and here it'll to launch on system start and here it'll to launch on system start and here it'll kind of give you a nice little shortcut kind of give

you can see here under customize we have can see here under customize we have can see here under customize we have links to everything and then we have links to everything and then we have links to everything and then we have packages wallpaper packages wallpaper packages wallpaper docs and it's designed very well it's docs and it's designed very well it's docs and it's designed very well it's not just your standard cut and dry type not just your standard cut and dry type not just your standard cut and dry type of welcome screen including about you of welcome screen including about you of

this is all just kind of to customize this is all just kind of to customize this is all just kind of shortcuts so if i go plasma theme it's shortcuts so if i go plasma theme it's shortcuts so if i go plasma theme it's going to open up settings and let me going to open up settings and let me going to open up settings and let me select that and you can see what they select that and you can see what they select that and you can see what they have here by default and if i close out have here by default and if i close out have here by default and if i close out you have other options fonts virtual you have other options fonts virtual you have other options fonts virtual desktop window decorations but we'll get desktop window decorations but we'll get desktop window decorations but we'll get into that in just a sec under packages into that in just a sec under packages into that in just a sec under packages this is pretty nice so this will kind of this is pretty nice so this will kind of this is pretty nice so this will kind of give you a running head start into give you a running head start into give you a running head start into grabbing some of the packages you want grabbing some of the packages you want grabbing some of the packages you want so for example let's say i wanted to add so for example let's say i wanted to add so for example let's say i wanted to add firefox then i'd go back and then let's firefox then i'd go back and then let's firefox then i'd go back and then let's say i wanted to add thunderbird and then say i wanted to add thunderbird and then say i wanted to add thunderbird and then i could go back one thing i wish is if i could go back one thing i wish is if i could go back one thing i wish is if it had like a little toggle saying at it had like a little toggle saying at it had like a little toggle saying at least with the packages you have least with the packages you have least with the packages you have selected selected selected video editors let's say i wanted caden video editors let's say i wanted caden video editors let's say i wanted caden live back music players live back music players live back music players i don't really want any of those i don't really want any of those i don't really want any of those image manipulation of course we want image manipulation of course we want image manipulation of course we want and then for office applications oh and then for office applications oh and then for office applications oh there's no only office sad day i'll get there's no only office sad day i'll get there's no only office sad day i'll get that later so with those selected i that later so with those selected i that later so with those selected i could click on install packages it's

could click on install packages it's could click on install packages it's going to open up the terminal incredibly going to open up the terminal incredibly going to open up the terminal incredibly small i'm not sure why kde plasma does small i'm not sure why kde plasma does small i'm not sure why kde plasma does that but i know that's definitely not that but i know that's definitely not that but i know that's definitely not the first time so there we go total the first time so there we go total the first time so there we go total download size about a quarter of a gig download size about a quarter of a gig download size about a quarter of a gig little under a gig total install size so little under a gig total install size so little under a gig total install size so let's have some coffee while we wait for let's have some coffee while we wait for let's have some coffee while we wait for that now i have gigabit internet it's that now i have gigabit internet it's that now i have gigabit internet it's going about five megs a second which going about five megs a second which going about five megs a second which isn't too bad but it's definitely not isn't too bad but it's definitely not isn't too bad but it's definitely not the quickest repositories around so it's the quickest repositories around so it's the quickest repositories around so it's been stuck on this for a minute i'm been stuck on this for a minute i'm been stuck on this for a minute i'm assuming i probably should have assuming i probably should have assuming i probably should have completely updated the system first but completely updated the system first but completely updated the system first but i'm going to go ahead and jump out of i'm going to go ahead and jump out of i'm going to go ahead and jump out of there and let's do that real quick let's there and let's do that real quick let's there and let's do that real quick let's update this system i haven't ran uh update this system i haven't ran uh update this system i haven't ran uh something with pacman in a while so syu something with pacman in a while so syu something with pacman in a while so syu all right cool so then here we have all right cool so then here we have all right cool so then here we have wallpaper which this is the latest one wallpaper which this is the latest one wallpaper which this is the latest one if we go under popular if we go under popular if we go under popular or oldest or oldest or oldest or downloaded or downloaded or downloaded i i don't understand download i i don't understand download i i don't understand download oh it's a cool progress bar though oh it's a cool progress bar though oh it's a cool progress bar though this is this the only thing we got going this is this the only thing we got going this is this the only thing we got going oldest downloaded popular well yeah it's oldest downloaded popular well yeah it's oldest downloaded popular well yeah it's going to be popular if it's the only one going to be popular if it's the only one going to be popular if it's the only one if we go to docs we have info on if we go to docs we have info on if we go to docs we have info on additional kernels all that fun stuff additional kernels all that fun stuff additional kernels all that fun stuff switching the video uh during the boot switching the video uh during the boot switching the video uh during the boot process there's actually it's pretty process there's actually it's pretty process there's actually it's pretty cool there's an option to switch the cool there's an option to switch the cool there's an option to switch the non-free uh proprietary drivers and non-free uh proprietary drivers and non-free uh proprietary drivers and there's a little thing that helps you there's a little thing that helps you there's a little thing that helps you pick the pick the pick the resolution when you first boot up into resolution when you first boot up into resolution when you first boot up into the system which is really nice the system which is really nice the system which is really nice especially if you're uh in a virtual especially if you're uh in a virtual especially if you're uh in a virtual machine that's rather handy under machine that's rather handy under machine that's rather handy under advanced this is some typical stuff you advanced this is some typical stuff you advanced this is some typical stuff you might want to be diving into after a might want to be diving into after a might want to be diving into after a little bit little bit little bit nothing we really want to do at the nothing we really want to do at the nothing we really want to do at the moment about

moment about moment about news this is the article we were just news this is the article we were just news this is the article we were just covering and then last but not least covering and then last but not least covering and then last but not least there's quit which will close out that there's quit which will close out that there's quit which will close out that application application application now if we go over to the menu and kind now if we go over to the menu and kind now if we go over to the menu and kind of browse some of the pre-installed of browse some of the pre-installed of browse some of the pre-installed software it's nothing too major it's software it's nothing too major it's software it's nothing too major it's mostly all just kde stuff so we have mostly all just kde stuff so we have mostly all just kde stuff so we have dolphin firefox i did just add we have dolphin firefox i did just add we have dolphin firefox i did just add we have some hp printer support and if you do some hp printer support and if you do some hp printer support and if you do pick the minimal installation during pick the minimal installation during pick the minimal installation during installation it will uh not install that installation it will uh not install that installation it will uh not install that and it will not install a lot of things and it will not install a lot of things and it will not install a lot of things but you can see just about everything but you can see just about everything but you can see just about everything that starts with a k that the world that starts with a k that the world that starts with a k that the world can't imagine uh k gdp we have k right k can't imagine uh k gdp we have k right k can't imagine uh k gdp we have k right k wallet octopi so add remove software if wallet octopi so add remove software if wallet octopi so add remove software if i open this up this is one of the i open this up this is one of the i open this up this is one of the software managers so you can see software managers so you can see software managers so you can see everything's all synced up and i can use everything's all synced up and i can use everything's all synced up and i can use this to find things so let's say i this to find things so let's say i this to find things so let's say i wanted only office does not seem to wanted only office does not seem to wanted only office does not seem to exist in their repos so flat pack does exist in their repos so flat pack does exist in their repos so flat pack does so we're going to install this real so we're going to install this real so we're going to install this real quick so if i click on that we have some quick so if i click on that we have some quick so if i click on that we have some information files actions to be information files actions to be information files actions to be installed and we have the terminal here installed and we have the terminal here installed and we have the terminal here i'm going to just right click on the hit i'm going to just right click on the hit i'm going to just right click on the hit install and then up here let's go ahead install and then up here let's go ahead install and then up here let's go ahead and apply those changes and this is cool and apply those changes and this is cool and apply those changes and this is cool we can uh just say yes so we could run we can uh just say yes so we could run we can uh just say yes so we could run it in the terminal if we want to i'm it in the terminal if we want to i'm it in the terminal if we want to i'm just going to say yes type in our just going to say yes type in our just going to say yes type in our password and then just some information password and then just some information password and then just some information on flat packs in general there we go on flat packs in general there we go on flat packs in general there we go and finished so that's how you get and finished so that's how you get and finished so that's how you get applications with this so this is a applications with this so this is a applications with this so this is a really nice pac-man front and it reminds really nice pac-man front and it reminds really nice pac-man front and it reminds me a lot of uh how the asked graphical me a lot of uh how the asked graphical me a lot of uh how the asked graphical package manager is on open souza so package manager is on open souza so package manager is on open souza so that's definitely a a nice little that's definitely a a nice little that's definitely a a nice little addition oh and it looks like they addition oh and it looks like they addition oh and it looks like they include mpv media player as the default include mpv media player as the default include mpv media player as the default which i personally believe should be the

which i personally believe should be the which i personally believe should be the default media player on all linux default media player on all linux default media player on all linux distributions so in addition we have a distributions so in addition we have a distributions so in addition we have a bunch of qt stuff which is to be bunch of qt stuff which is to be bunch of qt stuff which is to be expected stacer is installed so that's expected stacer is installed so that's expected stacer is installed so that's an interesting choice they have simple an interesting choice they have simple an interesting choice they have simple screen recorder installed by default and screen recorder installed by default and screen recorder installed by default and thunderbird i added vim is in there by thunderbird i added vim is in there by thunderbird i added vim is in there by default so some of you guys will like default so some of you guys will like default so some of you guys will like that let's actually open up stacer i that let's actually open up stacer i that let's actually open up stacer i haven't used stacer in a minute cpu haven't used stacer in a minute cpu haven't used stacer in a minute cpu we're using eight percent or lower uh we're using eight percent or lower uh we're using eight percent or lower uh 1.7 gigs do note that i've been opening 1.7 gigs do note that i've been opening 1.7 gigs do note that i've been opening applications installing things so it's applications installing things so it's applications installing things so it's probably a little less than this on boot probably a little less than this on boot probably a little less than this on boot i'll put on the screen now what i'm i'll put on the screen now what i'm i'll put on the screen now what i'm getting as the memory usage on boot with getting as the memory usage on boot with getting as the memory usage on boot with this current installation i have and this current installation i have and this current installation i have and here we can see some of the information here we can see some of the information here we can see some of the information that's running the 5.17 kernel which that's running the 5.17 kernel which that's running the 5.17 kernel which would be expected on a rolling release would be expected on a rolling release would be expected on a rolling release type system and here we can see we are type system and here we can see we are type system and here we can see we are all over the place let's close that out all over the place let's close that out all over the place let's close that out quit so you're really not a lot on the quit so you're really not a lot on the quit so you're really not a lot on the application front just some basic application front just some basic application front just some basic utilities that they decide to add so utilities that they decide to add so utilities that they decide to add so with that this is the latest version of with that this is the latest version of with that this is the latest version of kde plasma so i'm just going to kind of kde plasma so i'm just going to kind of kde plasma so i'm just going to kind of switch the uh switch the uh switch the uh overall theming scheme back to what it overall theming scheme back to what it overall theming scheme back to what it probably should be in my opinion so i'm probably should be in my opinion so i'm probably should be in my opinion so i'm gonna go dark for global it looks like gonna go dark for global it looks like gonna go dark for global it looks like they have some extra global themes this they have some extra global themes this they have some extra global themes this right here is default oh i can't see the right here is default oh i can't see the right here is default oh i can't see the buttons is it this one buttons is it this one buttons is it this one okay cool it was that one bro i'm okay cool it was that one bro i'm okay cool it was that one bro i'm probably gonna change that back real probably gonna change that back real probably gonna change that back real quick light apply there we go okay now quick light apply there we go okay now quick light apply there we go okay now let's go in here and change this now i let's go in here and change this now i let's go in here and change this now i can see buttons that's good still a can see buttons that's good still a can see buttons that's good still a little off for uh changing a global little off for uh changing a global little off for uh changing a global theme for it to look like that so that's theme for it to look like that so that's theme for it to look like that so that's one of them personally i would probably one of them personally i would probably one of them personally i would probably just go with breeze dark the theming just go with breeze dark the theming just go with breeze dark the theming still kind of screwed up a little bit

still kind of screwed up a little bit still kind of screwed up a little bit i'm going to go with desktop layout as i'm going to go with desktop layout as i'm going to go with desktop layout as well and apply this there we go now well and apply this there we go now well and apply this there we go now we're looking a little bit better so we're looking a little bit better so we're looking a little bit better so color is one of the new things with this color is one of the new things with this color is one of the new things with this version of plasma that i like is you can version of plasma that i like is you can version of plasma that i like is you can pull the thing from the wallpapers this pull the thing from the wallpapers this pull the thing from the wallpapers this like i said last time isn't a good like i said last time isn't a good like i said last time isn't a good example but let's say i want to pick a example but let's say i want to pick a example but let's say i want to pick a screen color and let's go with that okay screen color and let's go with that okay screen color and let's go with that okay apply there we go and then of course we apply there we go and then of course we apply there we go and then of course we have window decorations and all that fun have window decorations and all that fun have window decorations and all that fun stuff we go over to icons we can see stuff we go over to icons we can see stuff we go over to icons we can see some of the ones they have included some of the ones they have included some of the ones they have included which for me breeze is fine this moved which for me breeze is fine this moved which for me breeze is fine this moved over with that uh desktop layout change over with that uh desktop layout change over with that uh desktop layout change so let's go ahead and enter edit mode so let's go ahead and enter edit mode so let's go ahead and enter edit mode drag this over here and more options of drag this over here and more options of drag this over here and more options of course we want to use the floating panel course we want to use the floating panel course we want to use the floating panel and then bump this up to something and then bump this up to something and then bump this up to something legible like 62. so there we go now legible like 62. so there we go now legible like 62. so there we go now we're looking good the discover store we're looking good the discover store we're looking good the discover store icon is here and screwed up they icon is here and screwed up they icon is here and screwed up they disincluded it but didn't change the disincluded it but didn't change the disincluded it but didn't change the default configuration to remove that but default configuration to remove that but default configuration to remove that but yeah this is definitely an interesting yeah this is definitely an interesting yeah this is definitely an interesting system i could see why some people would system i could see why some people would system i could see why some people would want to use it it probably works pretty want to use it it probably works pretty want to use it it probably works pretty good on newer hardware i just got ubuntu good on newer hardware i just got ubuntu good on newer hardware i just got ubuntu working pretty good on that laptop i working pretty good on that laptop i working pretty good on that laptop i have over there so i'm not going to try have over there so i'm not going to try have over there so i'm not going to try to install it on there i'm going to end to install it on there i'm going to end to install it on there i'm going to end off on the home page here of this and off on the home page here of this and off on the home page here of this and the talk about the use case targets the talk about the use case targets the talk about the use case targets users who have tried many operating users who have tried many operating users who have tried many operating systems distros desktop environments and systems distros desktop environments and systems distros desktop environments and have found they prefer a distribution have found they prefer a distribution have found they prefer a distribution that uses all of its available resources that uses all of its available resources that uses all of its available resources to work on one desktop to make it the to work on one desktop to make it the to work on one desktop to make it the best it can be now based on my limited best it can be now based on my limited best it can be now based on my limited experience i personally think that they experience i personally think that they experience i personally think that they could do a little bit better with some

could do a little bit better with some could do a little bit better with some things for me the best kde can be is things for me the best kde can be is things for me the best kde can be is with something like the fedora kde spin with something like the fedora kde spin with something like the fedora kde spin that is remarkable same with opensuse that is remarkable same with opensuse that is remarkable same with opensuse kde and even kde neon if you're trying kde and even kde neon if you're trying kde and even kde neon if you're trying to get uh straight from the kde to get uh straight from the kde to get uh straight from the kde developers themselves but if you're developers themselves but if you're developers themselves but if you're looking for a arch inspired thing with looking for a arch inspired thing with looking for a arch inspired thing with pac-man and uh components from other pac-man and uh components from other pac-man and uh components from other distros that might work best on your distros that might work best on your distros that might work best on your hardware this is something worth trying hardware this is something worth trying hardware this is something worth trying out i think if you're especially having out i think if you're especially having out i think if you're especially having hardware issues this might be a good hardware issues this might be a good hardware issues this might be a good option but for me personally i'm option but for me personally i'm option but for me personally i'm definitely going to be sticking with the definitely going to be sticking with the definitely going to be sticking with the usual usual usual and uh with that i do hope you have an and uh with that i do hope you have an and uh with that i do hope you have an absolutely fantastic day thank you for absolutely fantastic day thank you for absolutely fantastic day thank you for watching please subscribe if you like watching please subscribe if you like watching please subscribe if you like this type of content i do a lot of types this type of content i do a lot of types this type of content i do a lot of types of contents hardware reviews other tech of contents hardware reviews other tech of contents hardware reviews other tech products software overviews whatever it products software overviews whatever it products software overviews whatever it may be subscribe ring that bell so you may be subscribe ring that bell so you may be subscribe ring that bell so you do not miss future uploads like this do not miss future uploads like this do not miss future uploads like this video if you did dislike it if you did video if you did dislike it if you did video if you did dislike it if you did with all that have a beautiful day and with all that have a beautiful day and with all that have a beautiful day and good bye
