+## Known significant software issues
+- [Many apps exhibit papercuts](https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/issues/71) as a result of them being packaged as Flatpaks
+- [Only zram-based swap is supported](https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/work_items/552), so the system can run out of memory with heavy workloads when there’s not a lot of physical RAM
+- [Hostname is set incorrectly](https://invent.kde.org/kde-linux/kde-linux/-/work_items/599), so file sharing and RDP don’t work unless <code>avahi-daemon.service</code> is manually restarted
 
 Ultimately the best way to determine KDE Linux’s suitability for your needs and hardware is to create a live USB drive and preview it on your own computer, with no risk to what’s already on it.
