    please refer to the FAQ: https://neon.kde.org/faq

    What is KDE neon? 🔗

    KDE neon is a Linux distribution built on top of the latest Ubuntu LTS release (24.04 at the moment) that showcases KDE software exactly as the KDE developers intended it, with no patches and no changes to default settings. Adventurous users are encouraged to try out User Edition. KDE testers can try out unreleased KDE software using the Testing and Unstable Editions.

    Is this “the KDE distro”? 🔗

    Nope. KDE believes it is important to work with many distributions, as each brings unique value and expertise for its users. KDE neon is one distro out of many, and that diversity is a good thing!


    thats literally all you need; it is a testbed for the latest and greatest that KDE has to offer, nothing more and nothing less.

    They are doing it (KDE Neon) as a testbed for KDE specific development and KDE apps (including gear) and they are doing it on top of Ubuntu.


    Tire manufactures test their stuff on machines that simulate cars. But they would never built their own as well they lack the expertise and why would you in the first place when all your stuff sells better when it fit on regular rims?


    Same with KDE Neon, KDE is most successfully when their DE and apps are run by the most users. That’s why those apps also can be compiled to non linux/Unix OSes like Windows, MacOS and Android.
