From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Personal and general purpose: KDE Neon (yeah yeah)
Servers: IDK, now. Probably going to check out SUSE.
Con: KDE Neon dropped LTS support.
What do you mean by this? Its currently based on 22.04 LTS? Can't find anything about them going to non-LTS
Yes, KDE Neon is based on 22.04; but their team ended updates for Neon 20.04 this autumn while Ubuntu 20.04 is supported till april 2025.
If they ditch an LTS before its eol date, it's no more an LTS, is it?
They forced me to upgrade 2.5 years earlier than expected, and then the update went bad.
I'm quite pissed at this distro.
Switched to MX Linux.
Much happier.
