Kalpa Desktop is a Plasma desktop derived from MicroOS, and Tumbleweed, providing a immutable system base, with a containerized workflow, through distrobox and Podman and Desktop applications through Flathub.
Kalpa grew out of the initial work by Richard Brown, with MicroOS Desktop, but has diverged over the past three years.
Kalpa's focus is on providing users with:
- A well-tested and current Plasma-Wayland desktop
- A minimal installation, without a bunch of applications you may not want or need
- Robust stability, through the use of atomic updates, no more broken updates
- Just a "Damn Good™" basic desktop installation, that's designed to be a desktop, and that's all
This presentation will present the current state of the Project,
