To answer to the 2023-12-21 "Biggest con: updates are only done with a reboot and that takes time..." You have the option to disable it in: System Settings - Software update - Use offline updates. It's my favorite distro since many years after having tested several else (Arch or Debian based). Perfect for multimedia and web browsing workstation for everyday use. On my different computers (10 and 5 years old), the updates never break the system which is not always the case for some distros. Was this review helpful?

It has all the GUI apps I need and best KDE environment I've come across. Personal choice! Simple, functional, no hassle with installation so far. Thank you KDE Team for making this distro nice and clean, no bloatware(my first clean installation without any apps, I was pleasantly surprised and now I love clean installation unlike window$). Flatpak, snap all easily available in app store with a click, no terminal commands, if you have Nvidia graphics like I do, just Google it and follow instructions like I did. 👍🏻 Was this review helpful?

Starting from the installer, you can encrypt your whole OS or encrypt single partitions, you can achive full disk encryption if this suits you. Kubuntu didn't care about encryption and the installer itself is designed specifically to dissuade you from installing Kubuntu and as much hard time as possible if you have multiple partitions already in place. in Neon, you want flatpaks? you have it. you love snap? turn it on and you have it. feel like using Appimages? let's get 'em, pkgs and debs of course are suppurted. you feel like you made a mistake when chosing snaps? turn snap off from the App Center, you want to go full flatpacks? App Center is at your service. you can also keep your open source drivers or install proprietary ones. it's sad to hear some users call this distro a pointless distro, on the contrary, this is the perfect starting point of how to build a KDE distro. in my own opinion, if you want ubuntu-based distro with KDE, Neon is one of the top three out there. p.s Kubuntu isn't one and should be forsaken for good until the devs get some coffee and get back to work and fix Kubuntu's sinkhole.
