I would like to add that if you type reflector --help in the console you can see the different options you can add to the configuration file. I changed the sort to rate, so the fastest mirrors get used first. I also changed my country to US, because that is where I live and everything else I left default. While doing some research, the Reflector service should fire up about once a week or at boot. It is hooked into pacman so it may refresh when you run the update command above. Location of the config file: /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf

@phenomlab you are very welcome. I have bookmarks but it is also nice to have this info out there for other people to use as well, and also a place I can go to grab it again if I lose my bookmarks haha

@phenomlab this looks very nice as well. It is nice that they keep the KDE Neon a rolling release so you will get those updated apps even though Ubuntu isn’t a rolling release. Is it a rolling distro? KDE neon is rolling for KDE software. The Ubuntu base OS is not, but certain packages will be updated as needed to support KDE software requiring newer library versions than what is provided by Ubuntu. Apps from the main repositories are not rolling either, and therefore can be up to two years old. Users are encouraged not to use them, and to instead get apps from Snap or Flatpak using KDE’s Discover app store. In neon, Discover is set up to only show apps from these sources, filtering out apps from the repositories.

@Madchatthew Sounds very positive indeed.

@Madchatthew You have a good point about the server needing to be rebooted - specifically after a kernel update, and this is something I’ve noticed on increasing occasions with Ubuntu.

@Madchatthew hmm, yes, that might be problematic.
