    Manjaro Linux vs KDE neon Comments

    Manjaro and KDE Neon are based on the Plasma desktop. Manjaro is a rolling distro so gets very quick updates, the moment new software versions are out. Neon gets this only for the Plasma desktop component. Otherwise, Neon is Ubuntu LTS under the hood.

    KDE Neon and Kubuntu are about as close relatives as two Linux distributions can be. Both are Ubuntu under the hood. Both use KDE's recent and impressive Plasma as the default desktop. The difference? Kubuntu is updated when it's updated. KDE Neon is the same, except it gets Plasma-related updates quicker. (When they come out.) That's it. That's the difference.
