# Kalpa Desktop is a Plasma desktop derived from MicroOS, and Tumbleweed, providing a immutable system base, with a containerized workflow, through distrobox and podman, and Desktop applications via Flathub.
## Kalpa grew out of the initial work by Richard Brown, with MicroOS Desktop, but has diverged over the past three years.
## Kalpa's focus is on providing users with:
- A well-tested and current Plasma-Wayland desktop
- A minimal installation, without a bunch of applications you may not want or need
- Robust stability, through the use of atomic updates, no more broken updates
- Just a "Damn Good™" basic desktop installation, that's designed to *be* a desktop, and that's all
# This presentation will present the current state of the Project, and examine the future roadmap for Kalpa Desktop.
