Is it KDE Neon? I've been curious if it's any good, haven't tried. It's just Ubuntu LTS with Plasma.

    It isn’t! I used TuxedoOS.

    The main reason was that I have a tuxedo laptop, but they also adopted the same moves as mint: mirrored Ubuntu’s repos for privacy, and disabled snap by default. Also, moved ping/internet connectivity check to their own server.

    I do believe the packages are a bit outdated but same problem on Mint

    I think KDE Neon is more up to date with the packages but still use the default servers, so Canonical gets some of your pings

    Btw tuxedo should work just fine on a non-tuxedo device. The custom optimizations should stay disabled

    Also, as others have talked about it, it’s not bleeding edge KDE but stable KDE, but it’s a recent version so the desktop environment feels modern

    Sorry for the slow response, I was busy

    Oh cool! I had completely forgotten about the Tuxedo devices. No worries on the slow reply, I've got three month old comments in my inbox that I swear I'll get around to crafting a respectable reply to any day now, I swear 😅

    kde neon is their testbed I believe, but there are other distros shipping it too.

    opensuse leap and thumbleweed defaults to installing kde plasma. leap is the slower moving version, thumbleweed is the bleeding edge rolling release distro, if you want to try it.

    fedora has a kde edition, that too seems to be stable, maybe its more polished too
