# The KDE Neon site says "A web search should quickly give you relevant information on how to do this. "
# but I didn't find any, so worked it out from first principles

# add the KDE Neon repository
wget -qO - 'https://archive.neon.kde.org/public.key' | sudo apt-key add -

# pin base-files to not install the Neon version
# - this prevents the install identifying as Neon,
# and stops problems with programs that this confuses,
