Neon is already an OS, whether or not you want to admit it. It's 
installed from an ISO. A hardware vendor (Slimbook) is shipping it on 
laptops that people can and do buy. My wife has it installed on her 
computer. It's an OS as much as any other Ubuntu-derived distro can be 
considered an OS.

I actually happen to use openSUSE Tumbleweed myself instead of Neon for 
a variety of reasons, and I'm happy with it. I'm not saying "Neon is an 
OS!" because I think everyone should immediately switch to it and stop 
using other distros. There's room in the universe of KDE distros for one 
more that happens to be a first-party product--as evidenced by the fact 
that Neon has existed for four years and the whole world hasn't come 
tumbling down. I mean, Microsoft got into the PC hardware business in 
competition with Dell, HP, Toshiba, et al, and it didn't destroy their 
business. Far from it: the new entries from Microsoft spurred everyone 
else to improve their own offerings, broadly lifting the quality of PC 
hardware for everyone.
