+1 for Chakra.
With respect to the lack of a graphical package manager, I'm not missing muon, yast or zypper one bit.
Chakra includes spun, a simple 'updates available' script that just works.
Arch might also suit...

KDE should make a official Distro or operation with FreeBSD or PCBSD
In future, the favorite open source desktop OS will be FreeBSD
3 reasons for that fact:
1, Open source desktop OS will get 35% market share, coz most geek community will accept that OS for their desktop PC.
2, GPL like linux will lose it's popularity in the desktop computing market.
Most ideas would be commercialize for letting authors make money.
GPL/Linux for server has been good for that, coz they can offer service and support for companies.
In the Desktop market, the user is individual. It can not be possible to offer service to get benefits.
And the open source OS users are geeks who think support is unnecessary for their PC.
3, FreeBSD is stable, mature and modern through long long time development.
BSD licence is friendly to commercialization. BSD desktop OS will get popularity increasingly.

I'd like to piggy back on this request, but I have slightly different requirements

1.) rpm based - Ubuntu/Debian based are non-starters
2.) NO systemd... It may be good. I don't know. I've been burned too many times by it now. Is it systemd or is is packaging? I don't know and I don't care. no systemd

Perhaps a distro that has add on repositories that I can GET kde 4.10?

Suggestions anyone?

@bferrell - I'd ask on distrowatch.com but I think you're going to be hard pressed to find much of a choice, only one I can think of that might suit is PCLinuxOS


OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x
