But it also happens that the KaOS project celebrates this month its fourth anniversary. Therefore, on this occasion, they released a brand-new Plasma Wayland edition of the Linux-based operating system, along with the X11 standard flavor that was available for download until today. KaOS 2017.04 is now the newest snapshot of the GNU/Linux distribution, and it’s also the first to ship with all the modules needed to automatically scale the operating system to desired monitor resolution when used under VirtualBox. However, it looks like the Plasma Wayland edition doesn’t work on VirtualBox.
