Hi,

I'm sure it isn't the right place ;).

You even can't maintain it by using apt from command line:

"Some uses of apt do not install new packages which
makes it less suitable for KDE neon."
- https://neon.kde.org/faq

"Why Ubuntu? 🔗

We use Ubuntu as a base for KDE neon because the KDE neon team feels it
offers the best technology as a stable release and the best third party
support."
- https://neon.kde.org/faq

"Developer	KDE"
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_neon

On the bottom of https://neon.kde.org/faq, see "Resources" -> "Support"
https://kde.org/support/ .

"What is this list for?

ubuntu-users is a mailing list staffed by volunteer community members
to provide technical support to Ubuntu Users.

Users of Ubuntu and officially supported derivatives (Kubuntu,
Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu) can get support here. Users of derivatives
(such as Backtrack and Linux Mint) are not officially supported."

Tricky support is probably part of the "Windows feeling".

PS: If your friends are in favour of the "Look & Feel" of Windows, than
they should stay with Windows. If their Windows installs suffer from
"awful performance", then consider to tidy up the Windows installs.
If they don't need very special Windows things, that require to run it
on bare metal, consider to install an official Ubuntu flavour as a
host and to run Windows as guest in a virtual machine. If they need a
bare metal Windows install you anyway can't replace it by a Linux
install.

Actually you already experience that migrating from Windows to Linux
doesn't make maintenance easier.
