Didn't KDE already have a distribution?
From the article:
Speaking of neon, Graham points out that it is "being held together by a heroic volunteer" (singular) and that no decision has been made as of yet about its future. Neon has "served admirably for a decade", he said, but it "has somewhat reached its limit in terms of what we can do with it" because of its Ubuntu base. According to the wiki page, neon's Ubuntu LTS base is built on old technology and requires "a lot of packaging busywork". It also becomes less stable as time goes on, "because it needs to be tinkered with to get Plasma to build on it, breaking the LTS promise".

KDE Linux, on the other hand, is designed to be a greenfield project that allows KDE to make use of newer technologies and more modern approaches to a Linux distribution unhampered by the needs of a general-purpose distribution. If KDE Linux's technology choices are not appealing, Graham says, "feel free to ignore KDE Linux and continue using the operating system of your choice. There are plenty of them!"
Interesting to see. I was actually wondering not that long ago if KDE would create its own distro like GNOME OS and well, it looks like they were working on such a thing and it amounted to this!...

It's an interesting distro for sure. It uses Arch Linux packages as a base but it is not Arch-based. While it does duplicate some of the efforts in KDE Neon, this is meant to live alongside and it sounds like potentially supersede Neon. Will be cool to see where this goes!
