    Installing KDEneon 20.04 in legacy mode - no UEFI

    I was unable to install KDEneon 20.04 on my system because there was no apparent way to do so without EFI, so I settled for a do-release-upgrade instead.

    I did figure out a pretty easy way to get it done though:

    Download and install Ubuntu Server - Legacy version
    Run:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt full-upgrade


    Create the KDEneon sources list in in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neon.list

    sudo echo "deb http://archive.neon.kde.org/user focal main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neon.list

    Update your sources again:

    sudo apt update

    You should then get an error regarding a missing PUBKEY, then run this
    (verify the key is the same as the error messsage):

    sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E6D4736255751E5D

    Then run:

    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install neon-desktop


    and 1500+ packages will download and install.
    When that's done, reboot.
