KDE Neon moves from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
| I am currently using Ubuntu in my virtual machine i can say its just perfect.

Virtualization is no solution for me in productive and daily use, except for experimenting around. I also don't like GNOME and prefer KDE. And most of Canonicals own creations like ubuntu one, upstart, unity, ubuntu phone and mir are contributions that somehow seem like a big waste of ressources to me. What I like about canonical and ubuntu is their packaging and versioning policy, especially the regular LTS distros (even thought many of this is just taken from debian).

As someone who used to dual booting
Virtualization saved me a lot of time and is making my life easier every day.

Well, driving arround with a tank instead with a car, bike or going by foot would also make my life easier. But one could argue that I'm wasting ressources that way.
I know, that virtualization gets more and more hardware-sided support and becomes more efficient. But I have old hardware, which was quite expensive back then and technically still works perfect as long I dont waste ressources e.g. for virtualization.

Yea i am sorry i didnt consider what other machines have for hardware cuz i myself have two very powerful systems.

| I can't wait for it, to finally get later versions of glibc or VLC together with the latest kde-packages. I am really struggling all the time about switching to Arch, but i'm stuck in the convienience of ubuntu/debian packaging. What do you think about it?
Is there any other distro which provides me the latest shit in stable, especially KDE software? I know it's always a compromise, just tell me what you prefer.
