I have read the FAQ of KDE Neon: it is well made and answers ground questions like “Is it a distro?” or “Can I turn Kubuntu into KDE Neon?”

…And yet I’m confused, because I’m just a newbie in the Linux world. For instance, when they say “on top of a stable base” I don’t know what’s meant as a “base”.

I think I understand that it isn’t a distro, but it fascinates me that it’s meant to be installed from an ISO or similar, just like a distro.

I wonder if any of you can explain:

  • What is it, in different words?
  • Why is it “implemented” as it is?
  • Are there any other “quasi-distros” like KDE Neon out there?
  • Do you use it? how has your experience with it been?

Cheers!

    Imo Kde neon serves as a test bench for whoever want to try the latest KDE DE directly from the kde team, it is not maint for daily driver use though I tried it for a while and it was pretty reliable.

    Kubuntu is an ubuntu with kde that is maint to be used for daily driver usage.

      Thank you for sharing your experience with it. Good to hear from many people that it was reliable.
