Being built around the latest KDE Plasma desktop environment, KaOS 2017.06 launches with the KDE Plasma 5.10 release, which means that KaOS users can enjoy all of its exciting new features, along with the recently unveiled Qt 5.9 cross-platform application framework. On top of that, the new ISO snapshot includes KDE Frameworks 5.34.0 and KDE Applications 17.04.1 packages. Thanks to the inclusion of the latest KDE Plasma 5.10 desktop environment, KaOS users can now install Flatpak and Snap packages, as experimental support for both application sandboxing technologies was added in the Plasma Discover graphical package manager. Besides that, KaOS users can now verify the authenticity of downloaded KaOS ISO images through a GPG signature verification.
