Tried Ubuntu/KDE/Omarchy in 24hrs: KDE wins, agents + skill files beat a distro

@mayfer speed-ran ubuntu/kubuntu/omarchy in 24 hours to pick a base for his Linux smart TV, and KDE wins by far.
On omarchy: the mission (vibe-code your desktop) makes sense, but it has more decisions he dislikes than all other distros combined — just take the learnings into your own Linux. His takeaway: you don't need a whole distro, just a few skill files that agents know about. Hyprland isn't particularly unique; KDE can also be vibed a lot, and he macOS-ified his kubuntu setup.
