What’s everyones opinion of the two? I enjoy KDE Plasma and want to use an Ubuntu based system but don’t have any experience with these two distros.

    I have (am on) used Kubuntu daily for over 10+ years and it’s a very mature, easy desktop. I use an LTS only. I tried Neon (wanted to love it) but Kubuntu was just ready to go for my needs. Also, I uninstalled Snap because I don’t use it and hate it. I prefer AppImages when necessary. I always suggest Kubuntu especially to people who dislike Ubuntu. I don’t need “cutting edge” technology, I used “cutting edge” before and realized it’s just hype. Most Linux distros have up to date software that is quite functional, jumping up to the next x.xx version of anything will not change your life. My LTS has backports so I still get current updates for most things.

      You’ve got a good point with using LTS. I’d probably try Neon first though. I have been using Kinoite and enjoy the latest Plasma version and haven’t had any stability issues. I’ll hope that it holds up on an Ubuntu based system but if not then change to Kubuntu.
