Looking for a normie KDE distro that works out of the box and is stable without issues.

    Fedora kde spin, kubuntu (ubuntu but with kde), kde neon (kde’s distro). I’ve never used neon or kubuntu as a daily driver (just when I was looking for a distro) although they are supposed to be quite good, but I use fedora gnome as a daily driver and fedora kde should be fairly similar. You can also use distrochooser to find a distro that suits.

    I think fedora kde is the one you should go with.

    If you go with kubuntu you’ll be using snaps by default (which can be removed entirely with some tweaking) and they aren’t actually good (as with the recent steam issues)

    I’ve had an excellent experience with endeavor OS, which can install KDE as well as some other DEs from the installation options. It’s based on arch

    Rolling release: openSUSE Tumbleweed Semi-annual release: Fedora KDE Spin LTS: Kubuntu (3 years), Debian (5 years), AlmaLinux (10 years)

    I personally think semi-annual is where it’s at. You get packages that are mostly up-to-date (and with Flatpak user-facing software is up-to-date anyway), and you don’t have to fear that something will break/be incompatible with every small update.

      Kubuntu is also semi-annual, but LTS releases only come every two years. Regular releases have a year and a half of support.

    Kde neon isn’t bad. If I’m remembering right, it’s based on Ubuntu and made by the kde team

    Fedora KDE spin. One of the easiest to use distros without all of the annoyances of Ubuntu (e.g. snaps).

    ArcoLinuxB KDE.

    I’ve learned from Brodie’s video that Ubuntu upload schedule is basically slightly different gnome’s schedule. So, KDE with rolling releases is what I think is best.

    Though IIRC the scheduling of plasma 6 onward will follow gnome’s 6 month period to synchronize with bimonthly releases of distros that does it.

    I’ll need some input on this
