What's the best debian/ubuntu based distro featuring KDE? - Feddit.it

I’ve been using linux for some time now, i would still say i’m quite a noob but i’ve tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i’ve tried cinnamon before and couldn’t really see myself using it, i’ve seen Kubuntu and looks quite lovely, what’s in your opinion the distro that best implements KDE on Debian or preferably Ubuntu?

KDE Neon: neon.kde.org , straight from KDE devs.
KDE neon

KDE neon is the latest and greatest of KDE community software.

I’ve been using KDE Neon for years on my personal laptop and would definitely recommend 👍

According to my experiences; its good for trying kde but just that. I prefer openSUSE tumbleweed over it. Or just Debian Testing with KDE Plasma. (Maybe stable, version 12 is really updated for know.)

The best implementation? KDE Neon, hands down.

There’s Debian itself, now easier to install than ever before. There’s Feren OS if you like customized KDE Plasma.

But for most people it can’t get better than Kubuntu.

Debian is Debian based.

I would say i never considered Debian seriously, but after learning a bit more about it the perspective of a highly stable / not buggy OS on which i can easily switch between DEs , and without snaps really tingles me.

And if you want rolling release, Testing is a pretty decent experience, just be mindful that security updates come a little slower.

IMHO, Debian is not the best choice for KDE, especially if you are on Wayland. KDE is a bit more buggy than GNOME, but bugs are fixed constantly at a fast pace, and Wayland support gets better. With Debian, you are stuck with the old version and have to wait 2 years for bugfixes. Kubuntu would be a better pick since it has interim releases with more recent KDE and also official backports with even fresher KDE version.

Yes ing is probably better for KDE, it’s great on workstations if you want a rolling release.

Why is kde neon better than other distros? Isn’t it just default kde?
Show threadunknowing8343Jul 14, 2023

KDE Neon has all the latest KDE stuff, and the rest is essentially Ubuntu LTS.

So, if you want the best KDE possible, but not too much change on the rest of your base… then KDE Neon is for you.

I used it a long time ago, when I fell in love with KDE. I use Arch now, BTW.

Kubuntu et KDE Neon. Debian is Debian and you can install kde. Check the plasma version maybe Debian don’t use the lastest update.

If you want to try the latest kde update : kde neon.

MX Linux which is number 1 on Distrowatch for a reason. Much easier than installing Debian itself which needs some tweaking, and really just Debian with some extra tools, latest Firefox… The Debian 12 based version is ready and I don’t have any issues. I also run Debian set to Trixie/Sid, which is fun if you want Debian to be like a rolling release distro, but you need to enable some bug reports and know how to manage updates to not have things break on you.

Just chiming in to reaffirm what everyone else has said: KDE Neon is specifically built be the best KDE distro. The development branch is literally what KDE devs use to build & test all their software, so no distro is designed to work better with KDE software than KDE Neon.

Well, why not Debian itself. However if you want something Debian based with ease of use then check Spiral linux

I installed debian with KDE, so far looks great, not too many problems in setting up my environment, KDE is great and i love the stability that debian seem to be based on, i don’t really care if my software gets a couple of year old, as long as it keeps working without problems!

Flatpak can get you the latest version, not everything can installed using flatpak though.
