KDE neon 6.2 Is Out with KDE Plasma 6.2 Desktop, Based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Based on a long-term supported Ubuntu release and featuring the latest KDE software and Plasma desktop environment, the KDE neon distribution uses a rolling release model where users do not have to download new ISO images or reinstall their systems.
However, every two years, the KDE neon devs rebase their distro on the latest Ubuntu LTS series. This week, KDE neon has been rebased on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat), which not only includes the latest security patches and software updates, but it also ships with a newer kernel for better hardware support.

KDE neon Rebased from Ubuntu's 'Jellyfish' to 'Numbat'
The KDE neon team has officially announced that it has upgraded its system foundation from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish) to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat). This much-anticipated transition brings a new layer of stability, performance, and compatibility to the KDE neon experience.
For those unfamiliar with it, KDE neon is an Ubuntu-based Linux distro built by the KDE community, focused on providing the latest Plasma desktop environment and KDE applications on a stable base.
In other words, it serves as a showcase for the latest KDE technologies, and it’s ideal for users who want to experience the most up-to-date KDE software without waiting for it to be packaged in other distributions.
