I recently had to use the iso to upgrade to 2020 because the standard upgrade measures did not work.
After doing this, as I was installing my non-KDE software ( LibreOffice, FreeFileSync, etc), I noticed that the version numbers in the KDE repos were the latest versions. Instead of installing a lot of ppas like I was going to do, I would rather install them with Discover if they are going to be the latest versions. My question is this : Does KDE Neon keep the latest versions of Non-KDE updated or was this just a cowinkydink of moving to the new Ubuntu LTS?

KDE doesn't have libreoffice in it's repos, it is in ubuntus:
$ pkcon search libreoffice results in loads of results as expected but $ pkcon search libreoffice | grep neon results in none, so there's no libreoffice in any repo with 'neon' in it. So the release cadence is up to ubuntu. BTW, you can add snap and flatpak to Discover, there's a libreoffice flatpak available, I didn't look for anything else. To enable flatpak and snap: $ sudo apt install plasma-discover-flatpak-backend plasma-discover-snap-backend && flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo And you need to reboot afterwards - they can't be enabled simply by services.
Neon Unstable, AMD RX570, Steam (skyrim for now), Vivaldi, btrfs (with apt-btrfs-snapshot), bug-reporter
