Kalpa Desktop, Trying to provide the best of both worlds?

SeaGL 2026

Kalpa Desktop is a transactional and atomic desktop, based on openSUSE and KDE Plasma

One of it’s aims is to provide a more flexible system that is a middle ground between a traditional read-write Linux installation, and more modern read-only “immutable” systems

This talk will focus on introducing the Concepts and Architecture of the Kalpa Desktop, and some of the difference with other similar products
