Blackbird, Netrunner’s version 19.01 release, hit the download servers on Jan. 14, and this distro deserves to be considered bleeding-edge. Netrunner is a step ahead of other KDE distros, thanks to its solid integration of classic KDE desktop performance with Web-based applications and cloud services. That said, if you aren’t fondness of the K Desktop, Netrunner may leave you wanting more desktop simplicity. For that you must look elsewhere. KDE is the only desktop available from the Germany-based Blue Systems development team.
I use openSUSE Argon and KDE Neon. I have been using Plasma for so long it has become as familiar as Windows once was.
Plasma can be a bit overwhelming for someone not used to it but it is worth getting to know.
I have never checked out Netrunner. It appears from the little research I did after reading your post, it is one of the more highly regarded KDE distributions.
Well, now you got me interested so I am off to download and install it. Thanks for the heads up.
