Is Neon based on Ubuntu or installed on Ubuntu? I'm asking because I entered a post on the Ubuntu forums and they moved it to Ubuntu based systems. It made me a bit angry because it'll get less visibility there. I reached out to the person who moved it and mentioned that Neon is KDE installed on Ubuntu. He said I was wrong, it's based on. Everything in the Neon FAQ seems to back me up, but there doesn't appear to be anything that actually confirms it. So is it a modified Ubuntu or is it straight up Ubuntu?
FYI, I'm not planning on going back with evidence. What's done is done. I'm now just curious.

The Ubuntu-person was and is acting correctly.

KDE neon overwrites Ubuntu package-material.

The consequences are not Ubuntu's responsibility.

Thanks for the info
