What is KDE Neon, in simpler or more practical terms? How's your experience with it?
KDE neon is the latest and greatest of KDE community software packaged on a rock-solid base.
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!

KDE is a Desktop Environment.
"KDE Neon" is the latest Ubuntu LTS, but with fresher KDE packages and support straight from the KDE team.
Usually the KDE version would be a few releases older than what the KDE Neon distro offers.
Thank you. By "KDE version" you mean Kubuntu? or am I misreading you?
No, the Desktop Environment (KDE, DE stands for Desktop Environment).
Kubuntu is a separate thing, it's Ubuntu with KDE preinstalled.
KDE Neon on the other hand, is an ubuntu based distro from what I understand, I've never used it though.
No, I mean the version of the KDE software. Like how Windows 7, 8, and 10 are different versions, Desktop Environments also have different version numbers.
