What is KDE Neon, in simpler or more practical terms? How's your experience with it? (neon.kde.org)

I have read the FAQ of KDE Neon: it is well made and answers ground questions like "Is it a distro?" or "Can I turn Kubuntu into KDE Neon?"

...And yet I'm confused, because I'm just a newbie in the Linux world. For instance, when they say "on top of a stable base" I don't know what's meant as a "base".

I think I understand that it isn't a distro, but it fascinates me that it's meant to be installed from an ISO or similar, just like a distro.

I wonder if any of you can explain:

  • What is it, in different words?
  • Why is it "implemented" as it is?
  • Are there any other "quasi-distros" like KDE Neon out there?
  • Do you use it? how has your experience with it been?

Cheers!

Thank you, very helpful! May I ask what you use now? Do you know if they add their software via snaps or flatpaks?

    Cheers! I've heard that one can install Debian and simply choose KDE there. I'm weighing my options... Undecided among Debian+KDE, Kubuntu, and KDE Neon. Although it also depends on how each deals with my machine. Will have to try some live disks...
