It was out 2 days ago, only bothered with it today though, it took 3 times longer to download the ISO, burn, and install, than it took me to wipe my laptop again.
KMS didn't work, first login saw KWin dying (the WM for KDE) so I couldn't do anything with it. Rebooted, finally got the 3rd party repos added, dragon player didn't play back any video, it just displayed a blank overlay as it 'played', no audio either (yes, even after fixing the ALSA quirk for my HDA chip). KTorrent had DHT cripple-patched, again, of course, so again you have to install it from the packman repo. KNetworkManager (kinda) worked after a bit of arm bending. About the only thing they got right was the pretty splash screen, pretty OpenSUSE wallpaper, Firefox integration, out of the box flash support, and.. well, that's about it.
For a 'KDE biased' distro, they failed hard. Honestly, the Kubuntu effort was better, probably because they are closer to upstream.
