The KaOS Linux team are kicking off 2022 with a new ISO release of their independently developed GNU/Linux distribution inspired by Arch Linux and featuring the KDE Plasma desktop environment.

Still powered by the Linux 5.14 kernel series, which reached end of life about one and a half months ago, KaOS Linux 2022.01 is here with the latest KDE Plasma 5.23.4 desktop environment, which is accompanied by the latest KDE Frameworks 5.89 and KDE Gear 21.12 software suites.

KaOS Linux’s first 2022 ISO release also comes with the latest and greatest Calamares graphical installer (version 3.2.49.1), which received initial support for the ZFS file system. This implementation, along with the ZFS (Zettabyte File System) userspace utilities from the KaOS repositories, will allow you to use ZFS on KaOS Linux through the linux-next kernel.
