I finally, so far, have enough pieces in place that this seems to be usable. Time will tell if it lasts; I maybe already broke some stuff setting up Lutris, and it took me three goddamn distros to find one that would behave with Synergy, so this could all still implode terribly.
But for now, I have everything I need for work and play, ie. Synergy and FF14, and the transition has been tolerable enough.
So far it's like ... its fine. It's mostly what I would've wanted Kubuntu to be if that were still a viable option, which is in fact why KDE Neon exists (looooong story that boils down to Canonical being shady jerks). It boots up, it runs KDE, it otherwise uses Ubuntu packages. It wasn't my first pick, but it was the first KDE-based option that I could get Synergy working in, and it being Ubuntu based at least means packages for things are mostly easier to find.
i've never really considered neon as a distro to recommend to people but that might have just changed. nice to hear that there's still good debian-based distros out there that aren't ubuntu
To be fair, at one point the Neon people would've told you not to recommend it either. It was designed as a "reference distro" for other distros to borrow from when packaging KDE.
But none of them listened, so instead it seems like there's been enough demand for a stable KDE-centric distro that Neon has just kinda accepted "well fine, I guess we'll be the KDE+Wayland distro no one else wants to build".
finding a distro that works for all your use cases is one of the strangest things to adjust to with linux tbh. I'm uh, 'lucky' in that I mostly just want to do general gaming and use a few visual art programs nowadays which makes my options pretty open.
