Drauger OS 7.8 reworks Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with KDE Plasma into a niche Linux gaming distro, adding kernel 7.0, Wayland by default, and gaming-focused tweaks.
like it’s namesake, it requires maintainance from time to time, and issues cropping up are not uncommon. Drauger OS is developed by a small, passionate team who don’t get paid anything for their work. Therefore, users who are new to Linux may want to look elsewhere to gain experience before taking the plunge with Drauger OS.
This being said, any sufficiantly advanced user can easily use Drauger OS to do anything from streaming, video editing, and audio production to everyday usage. However, you may encounter issues in the process due to the gaming-related optimizations.
So I’m inclined to believe it is less stable than a normal LTS Ubuntu or any other LTS flavor, as that combination of old and the new added from their backports repo/PPA has not been as tested compared to the standard distros.
EDIT: I’m an idiot and forgot 26.04 is the current LTS.
Embarrassed to say I completely spaced that 26.04 is actually released (and the article even says it’s based on that too, d’oh). Completely invalidates what I’d said above.
I believe the version of KDE used in Kubuntu 24.04 is still 5.27, while this distro uses KDE 6.6, which I assume is added from a PPA.Oopsie!Per the Drauger page:

Kubuntu 26.04 is on KDE Plasma 6.6.4

Thanks for pointing that out 😅
Haha no problem!
