Thank you! I was hoping to hear about this kind of user experiences.

The fact they they listen to users' preference is a great plus for me.

Advice much appreciated!

I didn't know they made such claims. They're borderline dangerous claims...

Very informative, thanks! Also for the heads-up about install scripts and the cause.

Cheers! I've heard that one can install Debian and simply choose KDE there. I'm weighing my options... Undecided among Debian+KDE, Kubuntu, and KDE Neon. Although it also depends on how each deals with my machine. Will have to try some live disks...

Now I understand. Kubuntu instead makes modifications to the Ubuntu core. Although Neon must be somehow removing Gnome, I imagine.

Good to know, cheers.

Thank you, very helpful! May I ask what you use now? Do you know if they add their software via snaps or flatpaks?

Very helpful, thank you so much!

PS: they say "most other software is not supported". Have you ever had any problem installing other programs? As examples, I'd prefer using Firefox to Konqueror, and other programs to KDE connect.

Thank you for explaninig what they mean by "base"! But then what's the difference with Kubuntu? In the FAQ they say "as there is vast overlap in the base offerings of both Kubuntu and KDE neon", but what do they mean with "base offerings"?

Thank you. By "KDE version" you mean Kubuntu? or am I misreading you?

OK I'm confused. They say it isn't "quite" a distro. So what's missing to make it a distro without the "quite"?

Thank you for sharing your experience! I love KDE's customizability and that's why I'm interested in KDE Neon too.

Thank you! Good to know it's not possible at the moment anyway :)

My point was that a coffee machine is designed to make coffee, not to keep track of time. Maybe it always takes roughly the same amount of time to make a coffee, and so someone uses it as a proxy stopwatch. But it can very well suddenly take more or less time, without anything being wrong about it – maybe different coffee brands, cleaned pipes, or whatnot.

ChatGPT is an algorithm designed to parrot language, not to perform mathematical reasoning based on logic rules.

For me it’s like using a coffee machine as a stopwatch, and then complaining that it doesn’t always give the exact time lapsed.

What I don't understand is where you found the magnitude of 0.1 Gyr. According to Weinberg (§1.8), for instance, our galaxy only is around 13 Gyr. As Harrison reports (Table 5.3), the Earth alone is around 5 Gyr, and the universe from 10 to 20 Gyr. Maybe it was a typo in your comment?

Great recommendations about books, thank you. As a physicist I take Wikipedia with more than a pinch – say several kg – of salt, because it frequently contains incorrect or outdated things, anyone can write whatever they please there, and there's nobody behind it that you can write to asking for clarification or where they got their statements from...

The number of people protesting against them in their "Issues" page is amazing. The devs have now blocked the creation of new issue tickets or of comments in existing ones.

It's funny how in the "explainer" they present this as something done for the "user", when it's clearly not developed for the "user". I wouldn't accept something like this even if it was developed by some government – even less by Google.

I have just reported their repository to GitHub as malware, as an act of protest, since they closed the possibility of submitting issues or commenting.

Sounds like the kind I'd like to read too, thank you!
