This is a list for development of KDE neon, it's unlikely to be a good
place for development /on/ KDE neon.  Try asking on the user forums on
neon.kde.org or on kde-devel@ mailing list for example.

A VM isn't a great environment for compiling stuff in.  You can just use your host system or you could use a Docker container.
