About KDE Neon
KDE neon comes from KDE itself, and it exists to answer one question: what does the newest KDE software feel like on a stable foundation? It combines an Ubuntu long-term-support base with continuously updated builds of the Plasma desktop, KDE Frameworks, and KDE applications, delivered as soon as the project releases them rather than months later through a distribution's cycle. Channels range from the polished user edition to testing and unstable streams that track development branches. KDE positions neon as a delivery vehicle for its software rather than a full traditional distribution, and its scope is deliberately narrow: current KDE on a known base, with packages managed through APT alongside growing use of containerized formats. It is the natural choice for Plasma enthusiasts, theme developers, and bug reporters. An OpenFactory browser VM will show you the current state of Plasma with no installation ceremony.
All KDE Neon releases and desktopsWhat happens when you press Try now
The button opens the OpenFactory console in a new tab and boots a fresh KDE Neon virtual machine from OpenFactory's verified source media. The session renders directly in the browser, so there is nothing to download and nothing to install on your computer.
Each visit gets its own machine with a fresh overlay over an immutable base image. Files, settings, and desktop changes behave normally inside the session and are discarded when it ends, so every visitor starts from the same clean KDE Neon Testing default.
Questions about this target
Is this an official KDE Neon image?
Yes. Launches boot from OpenFactory's verified copy of official KDE Neon media. The catalog records where each source came from and when it was verified, and visitor sessions never modify the stored image.
Do changes persist between sessions?
No. Every launch runs on a fresh overlay over an immutable base image, and the machine state is discarded when the session ends. No visitor sees another visitor's changes, and every session starts from the same clean KDE Neon Testing default.
Can I get a customized KDE Neon instead of the stock demo?
Yes. The OpenFactory builder turns this release into your own image: pick packages, services, users, and hardening, then build it, test it in a browser VM, and download the result for real hardware.
