This presents some practical problems: - We'll almost certainly fail shim review and therefore won't be able to have secure boot - Pre-installing these modules taints our kernel, which will be problematic for engagement with upstream - These modules can be fragile (see for example https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/work_items/618) - Including these modules broadens the attack surface, worsening security. As nice as it is to have an "everything and the kitchen sink" approach to hardware support via these out-of-tree kernel modules, I think the drawbacks to the project as a whole and all of its users outweigh the benefits to the specific people who benefit here. Fixes #618

Test it in a Virtual Machine
If you want to boot the KDE Linux .raw image in a virtual machine (like QEMU/virt-manager or VirtualBox) for local testing, ensure your VM is configured to use UEFI firmware instead of the default Legacy BIOS. Without UEFI enabled, the image will fail to boot.
For detailed setup instructions, refer to the Installing in a Virtual Machine Wiki Page.
