Como muitos souberam, deu muito ruim a atualização para o Plasma 6, no KDE Neon.
E ao ser questionados, sob as pessoas realmente acreditarem no que está escrito na descrição do site, a equipe de desenvolvedores muda a descrição da versão User Edition.
Atual:
Featuring the latest officially released KDE software on a stable base. Ideal for adventurous KDE enthusiasts.
Anterior:
Featuring the latest officially released KDE software on a stable base. Ideal for everyday users.

Who is KDE neon for? 
KDE neon is intended for those who want to experience the latest and greatest KDE software as quickly as possible. Though KDE developers endeavor to minimize bugs and maximize stability, using the latest software the moment it’s released will inevitably result in a less stable experience compared to distros that delay software by days, weeks, or months. As such, the ideal KDE neon user is someone excited to use the latest and greatest KDE software who can tolerate some bumps in the road from time to time, not someone with mission-critical reliability needs.
Provavelmente foi esse o comentário que motivou a mudança!
The issue I have with Arch saying that when the system breaks, it’s their fault is that they’re assuming everyone will know how to fix the problem just like they can, or that just because they initiated the issue that makes them the source of the problem instead of stuff simply being poorly designed.
Y’all are arguing about Neon’s userbase as if we’re all either developers or enthusiasts who install fish and picom and whatever Tiling WM is currently trendy on r/unixporn, that’s my issue. Not all of us want to deal with installing arch packages, or our systems breaking because a package is too new and bugged. It’s a lot harder to roll back versions than upgrade them, so the current Semi-rolling system is perfectly fine as far as I’m concerned.
I keep hearing about how Neon directly says “not a distro” this or “testing” that, but the official plasma website links to KDE Neon with the following paragraphs.
From the Get Plasma for page:
"KDE neon takes the latest Plasma desktop and KDE apps and builds them fresh each day for your pleasure, using the stable Ubuntu LTS base.
KDE neon User Edition is built from the latest released software automatically added and released as soon as it is tested.
We also have Testing and Unstable editions built directly from unreleased Git for helping develop our software.
It is installable as your Linux distro or from Docker images.
KDE neon is a KDE project."
From the Neon website:
"Solid Core, Latest Features
More than ever people expect a stable desktop with cutting-edge features, all in a package which is easy to use and ready to make their own.
KDE neon is the intersection of these needs using a stable Ubuntu long-term release as its core, packaging the hottest software fresh from the KDE Community ovens. Compute knowing you have a solid foundation and enjoy the features you experience in the world’s most customisable desktop.
You should use KDE neon if you want the latest and greatest from the KDE community but the safety and stability of a Long Term Support release. When you don’t want to worry about strange core mechanics and just get things done with the latest features. When you want your computer as your tool, something that belongs to you, that you can trust and that delivers day after day, week after week, year after year. Here it is: now get stuff done."
That’s the official marketing. The first things you see. Like it or not, there’s users who believed that advertising, including myself, and by switching to another base you are either depriving them of stabilty or easy access to non-Foss software. I trust KDE Neon to be semi-rolling because the only rolling parts are from KDE itself, the rest is tried and tested. If push comes to shove there can be bugfixes for those packages. There’s Flatpak, Snap, PPA’s, .Debs, and Appimages if you need anything newer than that, there’s simply not a great reason for the End Userbase to use any base with quicker release schedules when the Technical users can just change things directly on their individual systems or use Arch or Fedora Kinoite directly anyways. You already have multiple Arch distros (or just vanilla Arch) with Plasma, Fedora has two seperate KDE ones, so there’s no need to make Neon redundant.
As far as for the developers use cases, you make a product that has been marketed towards users and already have a seperate testing edition anyways. The status quo is fine. The whole topic here is based on the assumption that Ubuntu might become a bad base, but to me that is not the case yet, and all you edge cases should just go to your dream distros that already exist.
