All your favorite KDE apps and it runs Plasma. Stay away from KDE Neon. Too cutting edge, borderline beta. Lots of big updates and one might break something. Deja Dup is a good backup tool for swapping ubuntu distros. Backs up the home folder including hidden files. Good thing because my last Neon update broke the internet. Couldn’t easily do another update that might have fixed it.
Backed up home, made a list of apps, installed kubuntu over neon, did apt-get for all my apps, restored the home folder, tweaked the desktop and it was exactly like before I started. Lost nothing.
Always seems like you lose something with windows. Some old program you bought years ago and can’t find the serial for, settings that were somewhere deep in the system files or the registry etc.
Looks like Maui is the only other comparable one. https://community.kde.org/Distributions
Have been reading that the recent Kubuntu is going downhill (with bugs) quickly :/
Was looking at Neon, but I agree with you, I prefer stable over cutting edge (Will look at in in VBox though).
I have seen Maui, but was put off by one of their release names (”Cuba Libre”), but I suppose I shouldn’t be so judgmental ;)
Overall, I was debating over Manjaro and Neon, but waiting on more result comments.
