​So Trinity is to KDE as Mate is to GNOME ;-).

FOLLOW-UP: it appears that, from here and elsewhere, the widespread advice
is not to have a diversity of desktops to be switched between on a single
system. Conflicting daemons , etc.

Now the choice is down to "which OS"? I have been recommended the KDE
version of Mint over Kubuntu, but my attention has been attracted to
something called "KDE Neon". It strikes me as a fascinating twist, as a
distribution actually produced and supported by the graphic interface
developer. It will get bleeding-edge updates to the UI while the underlying
system is conservative.

Does anyone here have any experience with Neon?
