From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

KDE is a Desktop Environment.
"KDE Neon" is the latest Ubuntu LTS, but with fresher KDE packages and support straight from the KDE team.
Usually the KDE version would be a few releases older than what the KDE Neon distro offers.
Thank you. By "KDE version" you mean Kubuntu? or am I misreading you?
No, the Desktop Environment (KDE, DE stands for Desktop Environment).
Kubuntu is a separate thing, it's Ubuntu with KDE preinstalled.
KDE Neon on the other hand, is an ubuntu based distro from what I understand, I've never used it though.
No, I mean the version of the KDE software. Like how Windows 7, 8, and 10 are different versions, Desktop Environments also have different version numbers.
