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

      I’ve been using this for a few months now. It’s really good. A normie might want to look in to Slowroll though for extra stability. Is Slowroll even out yet?

    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

    Fedora Kinoite, specifically the version from universal-blue.org.

    It comes with all codecs (and even baked in Nvidia-driver if you want!).

    Why that and not the normal (mutable) Fedora Workstation KDE spin?

    • Very simple by default. You basically only “own” your home directory, the rest is indestructible and taken care of.
    • Has less bugs due to better reproducibility, and if something major should break, you can easily roll back without any waiting time (as opposed to Tumbleweed)
    • And you can even rebase to Bazzite, a gaming distro, that’s based on the uBlue KDE version, or any other spin it you want cleanly

      This. Or, nowadays secureblue Kinoite!

      Its a hardened Variant of ublue kinoitr, but I tested it and especially using the “userns” variants, a lot works

      • flatpak
      • virtual machines
      • fingerprint sensor

      “userns” means user namespaces, a technology used by browsers, flatpak and Podman/Docker/Toolbox/Distrobox to create Sandboxes, isolating processes. It is used by default on Fedora, so these variants are pretty much like regular Fedora.

      Dont think a secure Distro is user-unfriendly. It works pretty normal, but is simply way more secure.

      If you want to use Firefox or Torbrowser, install their binaries.

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