Yeah, definitely one of my favorite anymore. Decent default install (still a few things I'd like to see removed, but I can tolerate it), good speed, great to have the latest plasma the day it's released, and surprisingly stable.

Don't know when it became avaialble, but 5.0 is now available as an HWE (hardware enablement) kernel in 18.04-based distros including Neon. While not absolutely necessary, performance on my Ryzen is SIGNIFICANTLY better with 5.0 compared to 4.18.

It would probably never be my top system, but I do like it quite a bit. And my work life is much happier now that I'm using Neon there instead of base Ubuntu.
