![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115436wngdi7vndoodjnfd.jpg)


KDE 是目前最具定制性和最快速的桌面环境之一。虽然你可以随时安装 KDE，但最好选择一个 KDE 开箱即用的 Linux 发行版。


在这里，让我列出一些最好的基于 KDE 的 Linux 发行版。


无论你选择什么作为你的首选发行版，你都可以参考我们的 [KDE 定制指南](https://itsfoss.com/kde-customization) 来调整你的体验。


注意：该列表没有特定的排名顺序。


### 1、KDE Neon


![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115459ekqu4ncauq447oss.jpg)


主要亮点：


* 官方 KDE 发行版
* 最新的 KDE Plasma 稳定版
* 专注于最新的 KDE 软件
* 不是桌面发行版的完美替代品


如果你想获得 KDE Plasma 的最新体验，[KDE Neon](https://neon.kde.org/index) 是最佳选择之一。


即使它是建立在稳定版的 Ubuntu LTS 基础之上，你也总是能在最新的 KDE 版本发布后立即得到交付。


与其他发行版不同，它不注重完整的桌面用户体验，而是重点关注在 KDE 软件包上。所以，它可能不是每个人的完美桌面替代品。然而，如果你希望使用最新的 KDE 软件，KDE Neon 是一个不错的选择。


其“用户版”应该是你需要的，但如果你愿意尝试预先发布的功能，你也可以选择尝试“测试版”或“不稳定版”。


如果你想知道它与 Kubuntu 有什么不同，你应该查看 [KDE Neon vs Kubuntu](https://itsfoss.com/kde-neon-vs-kubuntu/) 的比较来探索它。


### 2、Kubuntu


![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115459ar460aw7q9xu4jqa.jpg)


主要亮点：


* 基于 Ubuntu 的以桌面为重点的 Linux 发行版
* 提供 LTS 和非 LTS 版本
* 良好的硬件兼容性


如果 KDE 软件套件不是你关注的重点，那么 Kubuntu 应该是你可以作为 Linux 桌面使用的一个优秀发行版。


Kubuntu 是 Ubuntu 的一个官方版本，它为其 LTS 版本提供了三年的更新支持。与 KDE Neon 不同的是，你可以得到对各种应用程序更好的支持，而不仅仅是局限于 KDE 软件。


你可以选择 LTS 版或非 LTS 版来获得最新的 Ubuntu 功能。


与其他一些基于 KDE 的发行版相比，Kubuntu 具有更好的硬件兼容性。考虑到它可以为各种笔记本电脑提供动力，如 Kubuntu Focus、Slimbook 等，其硬件兼容性是你可以信赖的。


### 3、Manjaro KDE


![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115459prgp9sqgrqqgdzoo.jpg)


主要亮点：


* 基于 Arch 的 Linux 发行版
* 滚动式发布更新
* 对于新的 Linux 用户来说学习难度不大


Manjaro 是一个基于 Arch Linux 的发行版，它使得使用 Arch 作为桌面 Linux 平台变得容易。


它按照滚动发布的时间表进行发布，这应该有助于你快速获得最新的软件包，而不必担心软件更新时间。


如果你是一个新的 Linux 用户，你可以考虑一直使用 Flatpak 或 Snaps 来安装各种应用程序。虽然 Manjaro 让你很容易使用 Arch，但它对新用户来说多多少少还是有一点学习曲线。所以，你可能需要查看 [Arch 维基](https://wiki.archlinux.org) 来了解更多信息。


### 4、Fedora KDE Spin


主要亮点：


* 一个独特的基于 KDE 的 Linux 发行版（如果你不喜欢主流的 Ubuntu/Arch 发行版）
* 为工作站和服务器量身定做
* 对于新的 Linux 用户来说可能需要适应
* 硬件兼容性可能是个问题


Fedora 是一个独立的发行版（不基于 Ubuntu/Arch），作为 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 的上游。


而 Fedora Spin 版为用户提供了各种备用的桌面。如果你想要 KDE，你需要下载 Fedora 的 KDE Spin。


像 KDE Neon 一样，Fedora 并不专注于提供一个最佳的桌面体验，而是旨在实验对工作站或服务器有用的最新技术。


因此，如果你有信心解决 Linux 发行版上较新技术实现所带来的任何问题/挑战，[Fedora KDE Spin](https://spins.fedoraproject.org/en/kde/) 是一个不错的选择。


### 5、openSUSE


![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115459ymy1a14chr4z45a8.png)


主要亮点：


* 适用于需要使用多种工具的系统管理员和开发人员
* 有两个不同的版本，包括稳定版和滚动版


[openSUSE](https://www.opensuse.org) 是另一个独立的 Linux 发行版，默认采用 KDE 桌面。虽然它把自己定位为桌面用户的选择之一，但我在过去曾遇到过硬件兼容性问题。


然而，对于想在桌面上使用 YaST、Open Build Service、Kiwi 等工具的系统管理员或开发者来说，它是一个很好的选择，开箱即用。


它提供了一个稳定版和一个滚动发布版。根据你的要求选择最适合你的。


### 6、Garuda Linux


![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115459xbyziihc9zhhzcb8.png)


主要亮点：


* 滚动发布的发行版
* BTRFS 作为默认文件系统
* 预装了基本的 GUI 工具，使 Arch Linux 的使用变得简单


[Garuda Linux](https://garudalinux.org) 是一个基于 Arch 的现代发行版，专注于开箱即用的定制体验。


KDE 版本（或 Dr460nized 版本）提供了漂亮的体验，同时可使用类似 macOS 的工作流程进行调整。


当然，如果你是一个有经验的 Linux 用户，你可以定制你现有的发行版来模仿同样的体验。


锦上添花的是，Garuda Linux 还提供了其 KDE 版本的不同变体，一个预装了游戏工具，一个用于渗透测试，另一个作为基本的 Linux 桌面系统。


### 7、Nitrux OS


![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115459uirgjibj8cv8gs77.png)


主要亮点：


* 基于 Debian 的发行版，不同的风格
* 独特的桌面体验


一个基于 Debian 的 Linux 发行版，具有开箱即用的 KDE。与 Kubuntu 不同，Nitrux 最终可能提供的是一个更快的 KDE Plasma 更新和较新的 Linux 内核升级。


[Nitrux OS](https://nxos.org) 在以其 NX 桌面为特色的同时，提供了一个美丽而独特的体验。


如果你想尝试一些不同的 KDE 搭载，Nitrux OS 将是一个不错的选择。


### 8、MX Linux KDE


![](/data/attachment/album/202110/11/115459fi1gzff53431cgit.jpg)


主要亮点：


* 基于 Debian 的发行版
* 轻量级
* 预装了有用的 MX 工具


不在意外观，但想要一个简单的、可定制的、基于 Debian 的 KDE 桌面？[MX Linux KDE 版](https://mxlinux.org) 应该是一个很好的选择，因为它以迅捷的性能和预装的基本工具而闻名。


如果你想调整默认的用户体验，你还可以得到几个 KDE 主题。


### 总结


在这个列表之外，其他几个 Linux 发行版也将 KDE 桌面作为他们的首选。


总体来说，Nitrux OS 应该是一个独特的选择，如果你想远离基于 Ubuntu 的发行版，还有像 Garuda Linux 和 Manjaro 这样基于 Arch 的可靠发行版可以尝试。


你最喜欢的基于 KDE 的 Linux 发行版是什么？你是专注于开箱即用的定制，还是喜欢自己定制 KDE 体验？

KDE is one of the most customizable and fastest desktop environments out there. While you can always install KDE if you know-how, it is best to choose a Linux distribution that comes with KDE out-of-the-box.

Here, let me list some of the best KDE-based Linux distros.

No matter what you choose as your preferred distro, you can refer to our [KDE customization guide](https://itsfoss.com/kde-customization) to tweak your experience.

## 1. KDE Neon

![Kde Neon Information 20 04](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/kde-neon-information-20-04.jpg)

Key Highlights:

- Official KDE distribution
- Latest stable KDE Plasma version
- Focuses on the latest KDE software
- Not a perfect replacement as a desktop distro

KDE Neon is one of the exciting choices if you want to get your hands on the latest KDE Plasma experience.

Even if it utilizes a stable Ubuntu LTS base, you always get the newest KDE version delivered as soon as it is released.

Unlike any other distros, it does not focus on a complete desktop user experience but the KDE software packages. So, it may not be the perfect desktop replacement for everyone. However, if you focus on using the latest KDE software, KDE Neon is a decent choice.

The User Edition is what you need to opt for, but you also have the choice to try “Testing” or “Unstable” editions if you are willing to try pre-released features.

## 2. Kubuntu

![Kubuntu Kde](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/01/kubuntu-kde.jpg)

Key Highlights:

- An Ubuntu-based desktop-focused Linux distro
- Offers both LTS and non-LTS versions
- Good hardware compatibility

Kubuntu should be an excellent distro for your Linux desktop if the KDE software suite is not your focus.

Kubuntu is an official flavor of Ubuntu, which provides three years of updates for its LTS editions. Unlike KDE Neon, you get better support for various applications and are not just limited to KDE software.

You get the option to opt for an LTS edition or a non-LTS version to get the latest Ubuntu features.

Kubuntu has improved hardware compatibility when compared to some other KDE-based distros. Considering, it powers a variety of laptops that include Kubuntu Focus, Slimbook, and more, the hardware compatibility is something that you can rely on.

[KDE Neon vs Kubuntu: What’s the Difference Between the Two KDE Distribution?When you find two Linux distributions based on Ubuntu and powered up by KDE, which one do you choose? * Kubuntu is the official KDE flavor from Ubuntu. * KDE Neon is the Ubuntu-based distribution by KDE itself. I know it is often confusing especially if you have never used either of](https://itsfoss.com/kde-neon-vs-kubuntu/)![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/10/kde-neon-vs-kubuntu.png)


![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/10/kde-neon-vs-kubuntu.png)

## 3. Manjaro KDE

![Manjaro 20 Desktop](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/11/manjaro-20-desktop.jpeg)

Key Highlights:

- Arch-based Linux distro
- Rolling-release updates
- Presents a slight learning curve to new Linux users

Manjaro is an Arch-Linux-based distribution that makes it easy to use Arch as a desktop Linux platform.

It follows a rolling-release schedule, which should help you get the latest packages quickly without worrying about the software update period.

If you are a new Linux user, you may want to stick to Flatpak or Snaps to install any application. While Manjaro makes it easy to use Arch, it does present a slight learning curve to new users. So, you might want to check the [Arch wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/?ref=itsfoss.com) to explore more.

## 4. Fedora KDE Spin

Key Highlights:

- A unique KDE-based Linux distribution (if you don’t prefer mainstream Ubuntu/Arch distros)
- Tailored for workstations and servers
- May not be convenient for new Linux users
- Hardware compatibility can be an issue

Fedora is an independent distribution (not based on Ubuntu/Arch) that acts as an upstream for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

And, Fedora spin editions feature alternate desktops for users. If you want KDE, you need to download Fedora’s KDE spin.

Like KDE Neon, Fedora does not focus on providing a great desktop experience but aims to implement the latest technology useful for a workstation or server.

So, if you are confident to tackle any issues/challenges that come with newer technology implementations on a Linux distro, Fedora KDE spin can be a good choice.

## 5. openSUSE

![opensuse kde](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/10/opensuse-kde.png)

Key Highlights:

- Suitable for system administrators and developers requiring access to several tools
- Two different editions available including a stable and a rolling-release

openSUSE is yet another independent Linux distribution featuring the KDE desktop by default. While it pitches itself as one of the choices for desktop users, I have had hardware compatibility issues in the past.

However, it can be a good choice for system administrators or developers who want to access tools like YaST, Open Build Service, Kiwi, and more on their desktop, out-of-the-box.

It offers a stable edition and a rolling-release version. As per your requirements, choose what’s best for you.

## 6. Garuda Linux

![Garuda Linux Review](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/12/Garuda-Linux-review.png)

Key Highlights:

- Rolling-release distro
- BTRFS as the default filesystem
- Comes with essential pre-installed GUI tools to make the Arch Linux experience easy

Garuda Linux is a modern Arch-based distribution that focuses on a customized experience out-of-the-box.

The KDE version (or the Dr460nized edition) offers a beautiful experience while tweaking it with a macOS-like workflow.

Of course, if you are an experienced Linux user, you may customize your existing distribution to mimic the same experience.

As a cherry on top, Garuda Linux also provides different variants of its KDE editions, one with pre-installing gaming tools, one for penetration testing, and another as an essential Linux desktop system.

## 7. Nitrux OS

![nitrux os kde](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2021/10/nitrux-os-kde.png)

Key Highlights:

- Debian-based distribution for a change
- Unique desktop experience

A Debian-based Linux distribution that features KDE out-of-the-box. Unlike Kubuntu, Nitrux may end up offering faster KDE plasma updates and newer Linux Kernel upgrades.

Nitrux OS offers a beautiful and unique experience while featuring its NX Desktop.

If you want to try something different with KDE onboard, Nitrux OS would be a great pick.

## 8. MX Linux KDE

![Mx Linux 19 2 Kde](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2020/08/mx-linux-19-2-kde.jpg)

Key Highlights:

- Debian-based distro
- Lightweight
- Useful MX Tools pre-installed

Don’t need the looks but want a simple and customizable KDE desktop with a Debian base? MX Linux KDE edition should be a fantastic choice as it is known for its snappy performance and pre-installed essential tools baked in.

You also get several KDE themes if you want to tweak the default user experience.

## Wrapping Up

In addition to this list, several other Linux distributions feature KDE desktop as their preferred choice.

Nitrux OS should be a unique pick overall, and if you want to move away from Ubuntu-based distributions, there are solid arch-based distros like Garuda Linux and Manjaro to try.

What is your favorite KDE-based Linux distribution? Do you focus on out-of-the-box customization or prefer to customize the KDE experience yourself?
