If you are curious about Nitrux:
Nitrux is a Linux distribution based on Ubuntu suitable for laptops and desktop computers. Nitrux provides all the benefits of the Ubuntu operating system combined with a focus on portable, redistributable application formats like AppImages. Nitrux uses the LTS branch of Ubuntu as a basis using only the core system and then slowly building up to ensure a clean user experience. Nitrux is suitable for newcomers to Linux as well as *nix experienced users. Nitrux uses KDE Plasma 5 and KDE Applications; we also use our in-house software suite Nomad Desktop adding to the user experience.
Can't download the thing because the torrent file is behind a crashed database.
We have magnet links for a reason, goddamit. /rant
Well, actually, they themselves describe KDE Neon as "not quite a distro".

Anyway, I recently switched my laptop over to KDE Neon after my faithful FreeBSD install broke.
I have previously used KDE-based desktops on Fedora and on openSUSE. (And a lot of other DEs and distros over the years but the point was to speak about KDE.)
For my laptop I have been very satisfied with KDE Neon. Still debating whether or not to run it on my desktop.
Who knows, maybe they enabled some power management or browser hardware acceleration out of the box, which would make it immediately better than most attempts at a Linux general purpose OS. I saw no mention of that, only desktop environment features..
Speaking of which: I’m not too well versed on the state, but isn’t chromeos just a Linux browser with power management and hardware accelerated browsing? Ubuntu and fedora and as far as I’m aware none of the traditional distributions do that, instead they make desktop environments all day. Maybe it’s time for some market analysis?
I smirked while reading that. A base of data.
