I’ve been using linux for some time now, i would still say i’m quite a noob but i’ve tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i’ve tried cinnamon before and couldn’t really see myself using it, i’ve seen Kubuntu and looks quite lovely, what’s in your opinion the distro that best implements KDE on Debian or preferably Ubuntu?
Debian?
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.

Yes testing is probably better for KDE, it’s great on workstations if you want a rolling release.
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.)

Feren OS, Ive heard it first and dude they use weebly for website.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you’re just looking to try, you don’t need to distro-hop, you can just install KDE on your system. Once it’s installed, on the login screen, you’ll have an option as to which window manager to use. I run Gnome and KDE side-by-side on my Ubuntu box (though I primarily use KDE)
Siduction is worth a try.
