I've found KDE Neon to be WAY more stable than Kubuntu. And this has been the case on multiple LTS versions. I just think this is odd since, in theory, they should only differ by the KDE apps that are installed.

I wish KDENeon was around when I was kde-crazy, back in 3.x/4.x times. Finding a distro that was both reliable and able to run nightly builds of KDE apps was really really difficult. Despite all efforts of some outstanding maintainers, Kubuntu always felt like a hack, with unavoidable GNOME stuff popping out all over the place.
I've tried Neon in virtualbox and it looks nice and consistent. Performance wasn't great but that's more or less a given under VirtualBox. I might give it a go on my next laptop.

You can boot the live image from USB to take it for a spin without installing it. This way you can try it out on your current laptop even.

I run this on my desktop.
