Yep. Bafflingly, you'd think an older version of the DE would be more stable and bug-free than newer versions, but this wasn't my anecdotal experience: on Kubuntu, I had to reset KDE all the time. And Baloo segfaulted all the time. Two years on Manjaro, and I've never either problem once. Have you had the same experience on Neon?
