A KDE neon laptop is the ideal choice for users who want the very latest KDE Plasma software while still benefiting from the stability of the underlying Ubuntu LTS system. Unlike most Linux distributions — including Kubuntu, where KDE versions stay frozen until the next major release — KDE neon delivers new KDE Plasma versions, frameworks and applications as soon as they’re released by the KDE team itself. This means you’re always among the first to experience the newest desktop features, performance improvements and design refinements.
The KDE Plasma desktop environment is famously customisable, letting you shape virtually every aspect of your workspace: from panels, widgets and global themes to window behaviour, keyboard shortcuts and activities for separating different workflows. Whether you’re a developer who wants a tailored, productive coding environment, a creative professional configuring a multi-monitor setup, or a power user who simply enjoys having full control over your desktop, KDE neon gives you the tools to build exactly the workspace you want. With its unique combination of cutting-edge KDE software and Ubuntu’s rock-solid foundation, a KDE neon laptop offers a level of desktop flexibility and freshness that’s genuinely hard to match.
Below are the minimum and recommended system requirements for installing KDE neon. These requirements are specific to physical installations only.
