    If I want a Debian based distro with the latest stable plasma, which one would you recommend?

      Hmm, if you count something based on Ubuntu as being Debian based (some people do, some people don’t) then I believe that is exactly what KDE Neon is supposed to be!

        Hmm… does it have any telemetry? I’m worried about user data collection. I know Ubuntu has that. It’s fairly easy to remove but I’d rather not have it to begin with.

          That I’m not sure of unfortunately. From the Plasma side of things I know telemetry has always been specifically opt-in, but I don’t know whether KDE Neon has the canonical telemetry disabled out of the box (my gut instinct says it would be disabled, but I have zero proof of this).
