Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing

It's been fairly stable as I would expect from an LTS. There's LOT of hiccups with whatever is happening in the tray area (power and battery sometimes doesn't work).

Language is pretty screwed up. I speak both English/Spanish in a Spanish location. Installer chooses half spanish and english in the /etc/locale, and has issues changing it in the frontend.

Overall nothing I can't fix as I put stability overall

You only used it for a week and already had issues and the team did not even brick your system with an update yet. xd

Neon maybe has its niche (though I question the point of User Edition), but regular users should stay very far away. Arch is far more stable and it's less effort to maintain it too. If you want stability and LTS go with Kububtu or Debian.

@Sina That's a fair observation. It is highly probable that the team has no experience with doing a distribution. Sometimes I just ponder if it's just the lack of people in the team doing QA or just not enough experience to fix issues.

I don't know if it's a problem with experience.

I think it's mainly these two things:

-Intermingling very old Ubuntu packages with bleeding edge KDE.

-The goal is to demo & test new KDE features and other considerations are secondary.
