For well over a decade, maybe 15yrs I’ve been using Ubuntu and now Pop-OS I am really interested in starting to getting involved in KDE development somehow as retired software engineer. Also keen to switch to Arch…
What do you use for distro with your KDE work ?
Neon seems ideally positioned for KDE-specific development. Latest KDE frameworks but not necessarily the latest Ubuntu base.

Fedora may also be worth consideration, though its association with Ret Hat could end up being a limitation.
