Safe
KDE Linux offers reliable system updates and lets you roll back to older versions if there are any issues.
All code is open and auditable, and no data is ever sent to KDE unless you authorize it.
KDE Linux
KDE 所做的基於 Linux® 的自由作業系統
來幫助 KDE 製作下一個大產品吧！
KDE Linux is a free, open-source, user-focused operating system being built by KDE to include the best implementation of everything KDE has to offer, using the most advanced technologies. Learn more on the project’s wiki page.
KDE Linux 期望成為安全、易維護、可用、且現代的系統，將會適合家庭、企業工作站、機關學校、裝置預載等等用途。
……但我們還沒達成這個目標！我們需要您的幫忙來實現這個理想。
您可以如何幫忙
您可以透過許多方式參與並幫助 KDE Linux 專案：
幫忙讓更多人知道 KDE Linux，尤其如果您是科技記者或是在社群媒體上有影響力。知道 KDE Linux 的人越多，這個專案得到達成目標所需的貢獻的機會就越大。
Daily-drive KDE Linux or put it on a secondary machine, especially if you’re a developer or adventurous power user. Follow the installation instructions to the letter; finding mistakes in the installation process and discrepancies in the documentation is also important.
測試我們較為少見的硬體，尤其是 NVIDIA 的 GPU 以及在傳統 HDD 硬碟上測試實驗性的增量更新功能。其他較少見硬體上的測試也很有幫助。
Report bugs: issues with KDE Linux itself (initial system setup, device compatibility, integration between components, etc.) should be reported on invent.kde.org. Issues in KDE software — especially the experience of using it in a Flatpak — should be reported on bugs.kde.org.
Help develop KDE Linux, especially if you have an interest in operating systems (particularly immutable ones). There’s lots to do. Chat with the devs and submit merge requests. If you’re working on a similar OS, tell us about your experience, and we can compare notes and work on solutions together. Shared knowledge improves all projects.
對您有什麼好處
Remember when Linux was an undiscovered country and everything was new and fun? KDE Linux is that all over again: we’re creating the operating system of the future with the clout and resources of KDE behind it, and you can be part of it. Here, individual efforts make a difference on a global scale.
需要注意的事情
- KDE Linux is Alpha software. Do not install it on your non-technical uncle’s computer or across the accounting department at work. There are multiple known issues (make sure nothing in there is a deal-breaker for you). KDE Linux has only received limited testing so far, and there will be regressions and bad builds you’ll have to roll back. Data loss has not been experienced yet, but anything is possible. Deploy a robust backup system. Expect some adventures.
- **自訂基底作業系統的選項極少。**KDE Linux 是「不可變基底」(immutable base) 的作業系統，犧牲系統層級的自訂選項來確保可靠性是 KDE Linux 有意的設計。請不要自己啟動或停止 Systemd 服務（除非是在除錯或修正已回報的問題）；Plymouth 啟動畫面或 SDDM 主題也會無法變更。
- The experience of using an older NVIDIA GPU is rough. Manual setup is currently required for anything older than an NVIDIA GTX 1630 to even work at all, and they are essentially untested. Here be dragons. You’ve been warned. Learn more about this situation here.
- **請不要回報昨天的版本的問題。**對，字面上的昨天：目前 KDE Linux 會每日更新，如果您發現問題，請先更新整個系統，確定該問題是否在最新版還存在，如果還在的話再進行回報。
If using an alpha-quality operating system isn’t your cup of tea, feel free to install any of the released ones on the Distributions page.
Key benefits

Powerful
KDE Linux offers a rich catalogue of professional-caliber software for any purpose, all for free.
General information
KDE Linux 的受衆是誰？
目前只有測試版可供使用。以下敘述越符合，它就會越符合您的需求：
- 您是 KDE 的粉絲
- 您喜歡探索現代科技，像是 Systemd、不可變作業系統、容器化應用程式、Btrfs
- 您希望參與 KDE 的 QA 流程並早點發現問題
- You’re a KDE Plasma developer (learn more)
- You’re comfortable using any of the methods listed here to install things you need that aren’t available via Discover.
- You don’t have an NVIDIA GPU that’s over 6 years old (learn more)
How do I do things on KDE Linux?
A great deal of information on the internet and AI chatbots is wrong, outdated, or doesn’t apply to KDE Linux.
Before consulting those sources, first look for an answer in KDE Linux’s documentation. Common topics include:
- Install apps and games
- Update the system
- Roll back to an older version if there’s a problem after updating
- Get help and report issues
Who develops KDE Linux?
KDE Linux is a publicly-developed volunteer-run project, led by longstanding and enthusiastic members of the KDE community visible here. The project receives financial support and other backing from KDE e.V., the German nonprofit organization behind KDE.
Information for techies
這是「KDE 的作業系統」嗎？
對！KDE Linux 是 KDE 社群所想的搭載 Plasma 與 KDE 應用程式的作業系統的「參考實作」。
雖然 KDE Linux 設計希望適合一般使用，相較於其他作業系統它可能不適合或無法修改為適合某些使用情境。KDE Linux 的目的不是要鼓勵人不要用其他作業系統，而是希望能提升所有以 KDE 為中心的作業系統的品質。
KDE Linux 使用什麼樣的基礎技術？
KDE Linux 是一個「不可變基底」的 Linux 發行版，從 Arch Linux 的軟體包建立。不過 KDE Linux 不應該被視為「基於 Arch 的發行版」：Arch 僅用於建構系統，KDE Linux 安裝後甚至不包含 pacman 軟體包管理器。
KDE Linux leans on Systemd for a great deal of functionality. Updates are atomic and image-based, with the last 5 OS images cached on disk. Only the Wayland session is supported. Apps primarily come from Flatpak.

這真酷！要怎麽參與開發？
Help is always appreciated! You can talk with the KDE Linux developers on Matrix, and submit issues or merge requests on invent.kde.org.
