To be pedantic, Neon is not a distro, it's a project made by some KDE contributors (they state so themselves) and FTR is by no means the "official" distribution by KDE.

Disclaimer: I package the KDE software stack for another distribution (openSUSE).

KDE neon is downloadable as a LiveCD with an installer, it shows as "neon Linux" in the bootloader, and you use pkcon rather than apt as a package manager.

You could add the repos yourself to Ubuntu and have something very similar, but the way it is distributed, it is absolutely a distro.

It is certainly not the official, canonical KDE distro in any way, it is just a good distro with phenomenal KDE integration.
