    It seems that it's not based on Ubuntu 17.04, pity.

        Yeah, that cost them a donation before Christmas.
        It's still solid, but as a developer, I would really appreciate a little less hunting for recent versions of everything.

          I like the fact that it's based on LTS. And usually if I want something more up-to-date, there's a ppa available.

            Maybe a rolling release distro then, I updated to Plasma 5.10 this morning on Gentoo, though I imagine Arch will be just as up to date

              Personally, I don't need a rolling release, I don't need to be on the bleeding edge. I'd be ok with regular Ubuntu releases, which are already conservative, but LTS is really ancient stuff.

              molecule-eye There's no PPA that offers a solid recent kernel, for example. Just unsupported, experimental stuff

                Run Kubuntu with backports turned on. You get a lot newer Plasma along with a more recent base.

                  I am more than happy with the LTS base of KDE Neon, it tends to be more supported by 3rd party software and I don't need to upgrade so often

                    This is something that I would like as well, a the moment I just manually install the latest kernels on my home machine from the ubuntu mainline kernel ppa
