Yep, Sawtooths, White Clouds, Bighorn Crags, Pioneers... Tetons and Winds are in Wyoming but nearby. Check out !wilderness_backpacking@iusearchlinux.fyi for my old trip reports if you are interested, I did start cross-posting here too.
KDE user here as well. Currently on fedora, but might go back to debian or some kind of *buntu. I've tried arch-based distros in the past but it's hard to break old habits, lol.
