Said about KDE neon as an alternative
JohnFastman Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE's Plasma desktop instead of Unity (same under the hood, different interior trim). KDE Neon is the same, except it's run with the explicit intention of providing much faster updates of the Plasma desktop so people aren't left frustrated waiting for new developments to be provided by the Kubuntu guys. Closest thing to Kubuntu you can get.
JohnFastman KDE neon is an alternative to Xubuntu if: 1) you want to stay with Ubuntu 'under the hood'; 2) want the KDE Plasma 5 desktop (and have a relatively recent/powerful machine that can run it; 3) it's important to you that the Plasma desktop is updated absolutely as soon as any new developments are out.
Beautiful KDE and Stability

Best SO that a used in my life, perfect performance, all amazing quilities of ubuntu, perfect and beauty UI <3. In my opinion better than windows and macos.
This is one of the most terrible distributions I ever tried. The desktop looks very nice, but I had many graphical errors, although I must admit I do not have the most powerful hardware. But a friend of mine told me he had experienced crashes and flickers, too. I never had such trouble with Xfce, Cinnamon, LXDE, MATE or even GNOME as desktop environments, and not even with the Kubuntu distribution, which KDE neon is derived from.
