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.

Q: "What's the best debian-based _____?"
A: "debian"
Debian is Debian based.
Hmm yes this debian is made of debian
I would say i never considered Debian seriously, but after learning a bit more about it the perspective of a highly stable / not buggy OS on which i can easily switch between DEs , and without snaps really tingles me.
And if you want rolling release, Testing is a pretty decent experience, just be mindful that security updates come a little slower.
The best implementation? KDE Neon, hands down.
There’s Debian itself, now easier to install than ever before. There’s Feren OS if you like customized KDE Plasma.
But for most people it can’t get better than Kubuntu.
Feren OS, Ive heard it first and dude they use weebly for website.
Well, why not Debian itself. However if you want something Debian based with ease of use then check Spiral linux
Opensuse tumbleweed is woth checking as well. It has a good KDE implementation and you may like Yast and Zypper.
I installed debian with KDE, so far looks great, not too many problems in setting up my environment, KDE is great and i love the stability that debian seem to be based on, i don't really care if my software gets a couple of year old, as long as it keeps working without problems!
Flatpak can get you the latest version, not everything can installed using flatpak though.
KDE Neon: https://neon.kde.org/ , straight from KDE devs.
I've been using KDE Neon for years on my personal laptop and would definitely recommend 👍
According to my experiences; its good for trying kde but just that. I prefer openSUSE tumbleweed over it. Or just Debian Testing with KDE Plasma. (Maybe stable, version 12 is really updated for know.)
Why is kde neon better than other distros? Isn't it just default kde?
KDE Neon has all the latest KDE stuff, and the rest is essentially Ubuntu LTS.
So, if you want the best KDE possible, but not too much change on the rest of your base... then KDE Neon is for you.
I used it a long time ago, when I fell in love with KDE. I use Arch now, BTW.
Kubuntu et KDE Neon. Debian is Debian and you can install kde. Check the plasma version maybe Debian don't use the lastest update.
If you want to try the latest kde update : kde neon.
Just chiming in to reaffirm what everyone else has said: KDE Neon is specifically built be the best KDE distro. The development branch is what KDE devs use to build & test all their software, so no distro is designed to work better with KDE software than KDE Neon.
