I’m curious how the community feels about KDE neon.

    It’s based on Ubuntu LTS, so it’s not for me. Doesn’t make sense that you’d want a bleeding-edge DE on an old kernel and system stack. I mean, I can understand if you’re a KDE dev and you want a stable base to dev and test on, but if you’re just a power user who wants to play with the latest and greatest, then using Ububtu makes no sense at all.

      I’ve used KDE Neon on my desktop pretty much since KDE Neon came to be. I don’t care too much about having the latest kernel and libraries on that machine (the hardware is a decade old - support’s not really getting better), and between the latest KDE and getting most of my other apps through snaps I’ve got the latest and greatest of what I care about there.

      The whole point of neon is to showcase the DE, they say as much on the website. Unless you’re super passionate about KDE Development, it’s probably not going to be for you
