Hi all,

Come across the KaOS never heard of it till today. Been a Linux user for only a few months. Have been using Fedora ( redhat ).

I made the move to try and resolve some keymapping keyboard issues I had in Ubuntu and a little in Fedora. I was told to try this. Long story short there is a range of software Id like and need to get running. First I guess my question is about getting software on this OS. ( I will be doing some reading in the meantime ). But these are the following programs I would like to get installed on this OS and wonder if it is possible:

Google Chrome

Skype

Looks like this would need to be a .tar install

I wont go on. So in Ubuntu there are .deb downloads. Redhat = RPM's etc

To get software on this OS does most of it need to be done by installing via .tar ( compiling from source )

If so what would a .tar install look like from terminal , differ in many ways.

Any tips to get started on the OS would be amazing !!!

Thanks all

Daz

Chrome is in the repo's you just can go on and install it via command line or use the packagemanager Octopi.

About skype, that won't be included on KaOS or it's repo's because 32bit software isn't supported. KaOS is a 64bit only distribution:
