Yeah dont know either why a fork is needed. It is a port to various modern Android standards and libraries, so it is absolutely needed and not necessarily a deviation.
It is for sure cool for the retro KDE vibes but thats what it is, old buggy KDE code. Konqueror is not maintained anymore, and either they ported everything to Qt6 or their Qt is also EOL, as well as a ton of other apps.
Apart from being well tested, newer software is mostly just better. Plasma 6 is a huge cleanup and its quicker and better than ever (long time users recognize that, even though its under the hood).
Yeah for sure you can do that, but it is not secure.
Updates are extremely delayed and not CI/CD like for example ublue Bazzite.
It has disabled SELinux.
It uses a custom Kernel and tons of other stuff.
Its for sure cool but the performance increase is like 5% (TheLinuxExperiment tested that once) and not worth the issues.
I would use Bazzite instead, you can layer stuff or different things, ublue has a Resolve Podman container afaik. Reaper has no Wayland support, does it? Last time I tested it at least, a few months ago.
Cool that their releases are good, my knowledge was from the 38-39 upgrade which came months too late. But tbh Discord is not a good way to document, ublue does the same though.
Like full of aroma. But vegan cheese is always less ick than cow milk with antibiotics, pus and more.
There literally is a max amount of pus allowed in milk, for a reason.
