It would appear that many KDE Neon users have voted for Calamares to become the default graphical installer system used for installing the Linux-based operating system on their personal computers. Indeed, Calamares is a popular installer framework that’s being successfully used by many distros, including Chakra, Netrunner, and KaOS. Today it’s also coming to KDE Neon, for the first time, replacing the Ubiquity installer developed by Canonical for the Ubuntu operating system, on which KDE Neon is based. As you can see from the screenshot gallery at the end of the article, it already looks gorgeous on the Developer Unstable edition.
