demm Not clear what ISO was reviewed with this one, not one of the later: http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/kaos-linux-one-of-the-best-kde-distros
adurol The c't magazine (one of the leading german-speaking computer magazines) did a one page introduction and short test of KaOS in issue 2016/19 on page 68. The conclusion is: "KaOS provides an up-to-date Linux-System for KDE-Fans. Getting it operational even for beginners is simple thanks to the graphical installer. It has a thoughtful software choice for fundamental application areas. And with graphical tools like the KDE System Settings or Octopi is even system administration not that difficult." (lazy translation by me) It also got praise for KDE & Qt software being even more up-to-date than Arch.

subritix Again, German "Linux-User" Print-Magazine (intermediate level, published monthly) praises KaOS in a quite long enthusiastic article, presenting some of the distribution's unique features and especially focusing on demm 😉. I think her name is mentioned three times or so - have a look at yourself, full article is online, but German only: (http://www.linux-community.de/Internal/Artikel/Print-Artikel/LinuxUser/2017/03/Klein-aber-fein)
