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.

I don't disagree with any of that. I'm not saying it's a bad recommendation overall. LTS releases are good for people that don't want to get their hands dirty and just want something that works.
But OP was specifically looking for something more up to date than KDE Neon... which is based on LTS. So while all your reasoning is valid as to why OP should use it, it's not what they're looking for. In fact, it's exactly what they're trying to move away from.
Plus, they're looking to expand their horizons. It's hard to do that by playing it safe.
