Wait, what is CuteFishOS? It seems like it's a distro using maybe their fork of Plasma5, but then you mention packaging it for Slackware? Do you mean just packaging CuteFish, which seems to be the Desktop Environment (and I'm guessing is a fork of Plasma5)?

You're right, CuteFishOS is a bit deceptive...to call it CuteFishDE makes more sense.
CuteFish is definitely no Plasma5 fork....ok so far To build the desktop on Slackware current just needed two extra dependencies,lxqt-build-tools and libqtxdg.
By the way, the project just needed 15 minutes to build.
What are you building then? You said it was Plasma5-based desktop...
Well, KDE has always been a kindergarten playground. Every day a few thousand Chinese kids wake up with the idea of building the next dream OS. You don’t really have to be a programmer to code using KDE Frameworks. So here we come: CuteFishOS, JingOS, FydeOS, TiananmenOS (Oops, not sure about the last one )

I see it so, CuteFish is just a further desktop in the Linux world. If you like it, give it a try. If not, leave it be. End of story!

So are all the ones you mentioned distros or merely DEs that use portions of KDE (but somehow aren't considered forks)?
CuteFishOS is in fact a Linux distribution (no information on which dist it is based on though, some claims it is based on "CyberOS" which in turn is based on Arch Linux), nothing less. On top of this, they seem to have developed a desktop environment they call "CuteFish". Very little is actually known about this OS, but if you dig into their github https://github.com/cutefishos, you can see they have their own file-manager, GUI library and so on.
