From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've managed to switch from GNOME to KDE, removing GNOME afterwards, and it was quite painless.
KDE 6 isn't available yet, though. The first one to get the new KDE is the distro it's made for, so Arch, I think. Everyone else gotta wait, and it could be a while.
Arch is not the latest. Opensuse tumbleweed has it, NixOS has it, Fedora will get it in a few months and has it in the prerelease builds.
