Evangelho, Jason. «Why is KDE Developing Its Own Flagship Linux Distro?». Forbes(en inglés). Consultado el 20 de abril de 2026. «The planned editions take a page from KDE Neon: Testing, Enthusiast, and Stable. Notably, the Stable edition of KDE Linux is intended for “everyone else,” as opposed to the Stable edition of KDE Neon being meant for enthusiasts. That’s an important distinction and I hope it forecasts a very user-friendly operating system.»

Consultado el 20 de abril de 2026. «Speaking of neon, Graham points out that it is ""being held together by a heroic volunteer"" (singular) and that no decision has been made as of yet about its future. Neon has ""served admirably for a decade"", he said, but it ""has somewhat reached its limit in terms of what we can do with it"" because of its Ubuntu base. According to the wiki page, neon's Ubuntu LTS base is built on old technology and requires ""a lot of packaging busywork"". It also becomes less stable as time goes on, ""because it needs to be tinkered with to get Plasma to build on it, breaking the LTS promise"".»
