Q4OS 6.9 Andromeda - KDE done right

Q4OS 6.9 was released and I gave it a try with the goal of creating a Win11-themed desktop. It comes with Chromium, LibreOffice Suite, Flatpak installed, and the standard KDE accessories. I installed Chrome, Firefox, Thunar, Mousepad, Deadbeef, fooyin, VLC, Synaptic, and the Win11OS Light KDE Global Theme. It is very stable and I found the video drivers better than the last version I tried which are now able to support my 2560x1440 resolution on my 32" monitor. So it looks and feels like a Win11 desktop running Linux. And you cannot beat the price of free. Below are details and my screen shots. 

Q4OS 6.9 Andromeda is the latest stable release of the Q4OS operating system, which is based on Debian Trixie. This version includes several enhancements and updates that improve the overall user experience.
Key Features and Improvements:
System Updates:
-Latest Debian Kernel: Q4OS 6.9 features the most recent stable Debian kernel, ensuring better performance and compatibility.
-Security Updates: Important security patches have been integrated to protect users from vulnerabilities.
Bug Fixes: 
Numerous bug fixes have been applied to enhance system stability and reliability.
Overview:
Q4OS is a fast and friendly, desktop oriented operating system based on Debian Linux. It deploys Plasma, optionally Trinity, as desktop environment on top of Debian Linux rock stable base.
The goal is to provide long-term supported system with a special emphasis on security. This is exactly what Debian base guarantees. We prefer the Debian development model to keep the core system as immutable as possible. It results in a reliable and stable system that you can definitely rely on.
Thanks to unique Q4OS tools a user can rather easily achieve setup of a fitted system eliminating superfluous packages and libraries. Therefore Q4OS performs faster and more efficient, doesn't exploit memory and computing resources with useless tasks and processes.
