Manjaro Linux is on the #5 position of distrowatch and it has two flagship desktops: KDE and XFCE

But it's not mentioned in this list: https://community.kde.org/Distributions

I think that it would also be a good idea to include KDE neon in this list:

https://neon.kde.org/

If Manjaro wants a listing they can add it, and ensure that the links and information remain current. Same with neon, although neon does not define itself as a distribution.

By the way, the desktop is KDE Plasma. KDE is the community, and it would be good if distrowatch got that right.

Thank you very much for the reply.

Technically, a distribution is any deployment of software and isn't specifically Linux.

And a Linux distribution is an operating system made from a software collection, which is based upon the Linux kernel and, often, a package management system.

I know that KDE neon "is only interested in KDE software", but it's a linux distribution.

The desktop is not "KDE Plasma" but "Plasma Desktop" : https://www.kde.org/workspaces/plasmadesktop/

And it was smart nor useful to rename KDE to Plasma Desktop.

Just a completely pointless name change that most Linux users don't want to adopt.

I would like to see it officially renamed to KDE again.

And for the sake of communication I only use the term KDE.
