See KDE - KDE at 20: Plasma 5.8 LTS Beta. Here for the Long Term.
KDE is getting better steadily since it's version 5 "reboot", a great option for people wanting to switch to Linux and stick to a Windows-like desktop. This version 5.8 has plans for "LTS" or long-term support to focus on stability and polishing, already the beta is looking nice, with clean login/lock screens and updated icons, especially clean ones like I posted here: [HIG] Iconography in Plasma Next • KDE Community Forums
Check out the new KDE Neon "distro" here: KDE neon
Neon is intended to showcase latest KDE software running upon a stable ubuntu base (currently the 16.04 LTS base). You have the "user edition" for latest stable releases which should be getting 5.8 in a couple of weeks time. Then there are the "developer" stable and unstable editions if you want to try out the current 5.8 beta release. They are planning a special "LTS" edition for the KDE 5.8 LTS release I believe. If you are a Kubuntu user/fan, then it's a no-brainer to try/switch to Neon. Other options to try latest KDE are rolling distros like OpenSUSE, Arch, KaOS, Manjaro, Chakra etc.
KDE recently celebrated 20 years. Lots of news and announcments to be seen from their main website: KDE - Experience Freedom!
