From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How long ago was it? Latest LTS is 22.04, don't think just one year would make cause any major compatibility issue (but well, if it did, just one year for 24.04LTS).
This was a few years back, maybe on 20.04 but could have been 18.04. The wifi card was a niche realtek that wasn't well supported.
The issue is more that neon and kubuntu both have trade-offs, using either means you will be using older software releases. Doesn't mean it will affect everyone, but for some people a rolling distro will be better.
