Software has bugs! One way to find bugs is to have users test changes.
To make that possible, we need to deliver pre-release versions of our software in a way that is accessible to our users which are usually not developers.
Remember that even as a developer, you are always the user of someone else’s project. The technology stack is now so complex that it is mostly impossible to understand every single projects included in a modern desktop environment, even if it is fully open source.
Testing pre-release software also has to be reasonably safe regarding user’s data, as it’s often not practical to ask users to backup everything all the time and testing a small fix for an application should not have your entire system crash.

Update: Kinoite Nightly & Beta images are temporarily paused while we work on making Kinoite image with Plasma 6 content available.
As announced during the Fedora Kinoite “Hello World!” (slides) last year at the Fedora 35 release party, one of the goals for Fedora Kinoite is to make it easier for everyone to try and test the latest KDE Plasma desktop and Apps, without having packaging, compiler or development knowledge.

We are now much closer to that goal with the introduction of Kinoite Nightly, an unofficial variant of Fedora Kinoite based on stable Fedora plus nightly packages for KDE software (Plasma desktop and a base set of apps).
Alonside Kinoite Nightly, we are also introducing Kinoite Beta, which is also an unofficial variant of Fedora Kinoite, also based on stable Fedora but with KDE Plasma Beta packages. This variant is based on fresh release of KDE Plasma 5.27 Beta.
While the Nightly variant will be built daily and will always be available, the Beta variant will only be built and available during KDE Plasma Beta testing phases.
