Ubuntu 19.10: It’s fast

Personally I prefer to stick with KDE neon for a full KDE experience. It's built on Ubuntu LTS but uses the latest KDE packages. I've found it to be a lot more stable than just using KDE on top of a Ubuntu release.

I've tried KDE Neon, but ran into issues installing Nvidia drivers. The only Ubuntu flavor I've found that supports them really well is Pop_OS!.

I get it, I should be using FOSS drivers, but I do a lot of work involving neural networks and CUDA, so Nvidia's drivers are non-negotiable.

FWIW I've had good luck with Nvidia binary drivers on Mint, both the Cinnamon and Mate-based variants.

The major downside to KDE Neon for me is that, although it's Ubuntu-based, because it ships its own Qt, it breaks PPAs for Qt-based applications such as FreeCAD or QGIS.
