Hey, I am a new Linux user who has some experience with KDE Neon, but would like to switch to a more stable version. I've not managed to find a detailed comparison of the two, so I am stuck on deciding which one I should choose (Q4OS vs Debian). I would imagine Debian has less issues but Q4OS offers a more specialized KDE experience? But I don't really know.. Please help me out with the decision.

You need to research further, it seems: Q4OS is Debian 11 based, it offers KDE -- along with TDE -- as desktop environment.

KDE Neon, from what I understand from their site, keeps their software pieces for KDE up-to-date, and I believe used the term "cutting edge." I don't know about you, but I don't like getting cut. :-) The version of KDE with Q4OS, I believe is 5.20 while KDE Neon is 5.25.x (i.e., cutting edge, you might bleed). :-)

KDE Neon = Ubuntu LTS + Latest release of KDE Plasma (KDE Neon is actually released by the KDE Developers)
Q4OS KDE = Debian KDE + a bunch of tools to make using it easier and a few tweaks to make it look better
Debian KDE = plain Jane KDE with no customization or tools by default. It's as "basic" as you're getting.

Seeing that Q4OS and newcomer Titan are both based on Debian 11, maybe they should team up to make a greater "toolbox".
