Kannolo

Kannolo is an installable graphical Fedora Remix without GTK+, based on the KDE Plasma Desktop workspace and the Calamares installer.

Kannolo does not include software that requires GTK+ (Firefox, Anaconda, firewall-config, ABRT), featuring KDE or Qt software (QupZilla, Calamares, UFW-KDE, DrKonqi) instead. SELinux is disabled by default because there is no Qt/KDE troubleshooting application for it. GTK+ and GTK+ applications are available from the upstream distribution’s online repositories, enabled by default.

Another difference is that the upstream distribution's live image is a pure installable live image that does not allow any kind of package selection during installation, whereas Kannolo is a hybrid live and netinstall image, powered by the Calamares netinstall module, which offers a selection of recommended and optional packages to install from the Internet during the installation process.

Kannolo is significantly smaller than the upstream distribution.
