Hey, I was wondering whether it was possible to safely make KDE About page say a different os string safety without breaking updates, packages etc. For sure that would be the PRETTY_NAME, but it seems that KDE reads the raw NAME.. Will it affect anything if I change it? Is there a safer way?
I think you have better results when you ask that in the KDE forum. You can find that on KDE forum.
Still tho, is editing the NAME variable from os release risky? Will updates hang?
I would be surprised if it caused a problem.
According to the spec, NAME is supposed to be human-readable; the machine-readable counterpart is ID.
However, you may find your changes get overwritten on package upgrades, particularly on Fedora major version upgrades.
