The main reason was that I have a tuxedo laptop, but they also adopted the same moves as mint: mirrored Ubuntu’s repos for privacy, and disabled snap by default. Also, moved ping/internet connectivity check to their own server.
I do believe the packages are a bit outdated but same problem on Mint
I think KDE Neon is more up to date with the packages but still use the default servers, so Canonical gets some of your pings
Btw tuxedo should work just fine on a non-tuxedo device. The custom optimizations should stay disabled
Also, as others have talked about it, it’s not bleeding edge KDE but stable KDE, but it’s a recent version so the desktop environment feels modern
Oh cool! I had completely forgotten about the Tuxedo devices. No worries on the slow reply, I’ve got three month old comments in my inbox that I swear I’ll get around to crafting a respectable reply to any day now, I swear 😅
It isn’t! I used TuxedoOS.

Sorry for the slow response, I was busy
