The developers of the KaOS Linux operating system announced the release and immediate availability for download of the KaOS 2016.06 ISO image with some very exciting goodies.

First and foremost, the devs have decided to move the distribution from the long-term supported Linux 4.4 kernel series to Linux kernel 4.6, which makes it possible to fully automate the early microcode update. Furthermore, the default desktop environment has been migrated to the Beta of the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.7.

Other goodies that made it into today's KaOS 2016.06 ISO image are the brand-new Qt 5.7.0 GUI toolkit with its amazing technologies, which are perfect for a distribution that runs on top of the latest KDE software. Talking about KDE, the devs also managed to add the latest KDE Application 16.04.2 software suite and the KDE Frameworks 5.23.0 collection of add-ons for Qt5.
