What's everyones opinion of the two? I enjoy KDE Plasma and want to use an Ubuntu based system but don't have any experience with these two distros.

It's mainly the release model.

Kubuntu is Ubuntu. So, two major updates a year, where the state is basically "frozen" in between. This gives everyone time to fix bugs, giving you a more stable experience.

Neon is rolling release on everything regarding KDE, but has a very stable base OS. Advantage: newest and hottest KDE stuff, but it maybe has some rough edges and doesn't provide you with the newest kernel, which usually isn't a big deal, but you might miss out on something.

Is there a reason why you want something Ubuntu based?

You also have a few other options:

Debian: older (still has KDE 5.27), but very stable and tested
Fedora KDE: similar to Kubuntu, but more vanilla and less shitty in my personal opinion (Snaps, etc.)
EndeavourOS: Arch based, beautiful customisations applied OOTB, sane defaults if you like Arch
Fedora Atomic KDE (Kinoite) or Aurora: the newest image based (immutable) variant. It's what I use and would recommend. Very reliable!

Ah okay. That makes sense. I have been using Fedora Kinoite on my test laptop and really enjoy Plasma 6 but I need it Ubuntu based so I can use Golden Cheetah with Ant+ devices. GC's documentation focuses on Ubuntu based systems and I got it working on Linux Mint, my main laptop. I just like Plasma more than Cinnamon and am slowly changing all my systems over.

Thank you!

@sic_semper_tyrannis @Guenther_Amanita Just an FYI, I did a quick GTMF, and the software you need isn't ubuntu specific. As you get more experience, you'll find that this is usually the case. Good luck. :)
