From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

TIL SDDM hasn’t gotten to 1.0 yet.
Many projects also deliberately avoid publishing a version 1.0. For example, the static website generator Hugo continued with 0.100.0 after version 0.99.1. The current version is 0.123.3.
This is mostly due to the fact that some users have the wrong expectations. For example, that version 1.0 is as good as error-free and fully developed.

Since Plasma 5 if I'm not mistaken. Before that, KDM was the standard.
