So Google tightening the look but don't touch approach? Not a surprise at all. Google already implement this approach with Push notifications (FCM/GCM) and Hardware Attestation that makes custom android OS/ROM harder to recommend for most people that need for example app that needs good Location service and Phone Payment like Google Wallet.

It's official... KDE Neon *is* a distro!!

iirc Neon started by Kubuntu developers as a way to install the latest Plasma on top of current Ubuntu release. And if this is the case then it's not really started as a distro the way Linux Mint or Bodhi Linux mesnt to be.

But as time progress, if Neon started contributing fixes to upstream in this case Ubuntu, and as well as implemeting changes such as using deb version of Firefox instead of Snap then Neon project is so much more than just an effort to package the latest KDE for Ubuntu, hence a distro terms suits them better in my opinion.

Regarding Plasma 6. I tried Neon live session and was surprised by the smoothness that made possible probably because of the Wayland transition, animation feels smooth and laptop fan did not even kicked in, but what i really like so far is the window scaling, i can set it to 125% or 150% and it does not seems like a hack. About the instability issues, its probably that i did not play with the live session long enough but my session is without a crash.

New version of the guide for change (I'm not the author)

Thank you for Informative infograpahic. However i have doubt about recommending Waterfox, in my opinion it should not be recommended for the reason that its involved in an unclear business practice to sustain its development.

Waterfox is a fork of Firefox with some tweaking, probably somewhat close to LibreWolf which i think have better offering for being more a community driven project.

However, web browser is a complex piece of software, features and important bugs & security fixes being added from time to time, so it is also important to consider how fast they merge the change from Upstream (Firefox). If it's too long to to get update it could introduce security issues. So as of now i don't see any viable alternative to Firefox, Chromium or even Ungoogled Chromium.
