Rosa is a Russian company with a variety of Linux-based solutions.
Rosa is fantastic, and anyone who disagrees obviously hasn't even given it a try. I'm using Mate, and am "thisclose" to totally dumping Windows. I'm tired of being manipulated & controlled by the BigClowns... See my commentat..http://www.open-source-feed.com/2016/01/linux-mint-173-rosa-wilted-flower-review.html..to see what I really mean!
All I can say is "Thank You Linux Contributors for bringinging this main-stream.... Which is a good thing. Time to get off the high-horse of "I'm a Linux User" and learn to play nice and quit complicating things with your make-believe tall-foreheaded-way of thinking!!"
You are correct. The KDE version for ROSA 7 is 4.14.13. The release notes referred to the latest KDE desktop. Unfortunately, I did not verify that when I installed ROSA 7. However, the installed version still running on my test machine shows that the platform version is not the current 5 series of KDE. I am still impressed with every other aspect of ROSA 7.
