From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i know i'll get downvoted but this was my experience last time i tried kde a few weeks ago (kubuntu and fedora kde):
cool animations but stuttery as hell
browser randomly consuming 10% of cpu, making everything else slow as if it was using 100% (tested: firefox, librewolf, floorp, brave)
programs refusing to install
programs refusing to open
editing the taskbar often resulted in all the items going on top of each other, i couldn't move them until i rebooted. couldn't find an option to reset the whole thing
i put cpu and gpu temps in the system monitor and it always borked after it had been closed a few minutes
kded5 or something like that constantly popped up wanting to create a new wallet. couldn't figure out how to disable. guides pointed to a configuration file that didn't exist on my system
idk if it's an nvidia thing but none of these happen on other DEs
My experience of anything Ubuntu based is that it is buggy as hell. I have no knowledge of Fedora.
well yeah i tried ubuntu a couple years back and i remember having some issues with it too.
weird thing is that mint has never had any issues even though it's based on ubuntu. not even nvidia related issues.
It's more of a distro problem than KDE. I have nvidia toi, and I admit, it bugs sometimes out.
well, cinnamon works great on mint and fedora, and i have had less (none) gpu related issues on mint than i did even on windows. kde wouldn't play nice with my old pc components either and gpu is the only thing that i kept, so i would suspect it's some weirdness between my gpu and kde.
and too bad i can't go with amd because i need hdmi 2.1
Rel man, I got pretty good nvidia gpu, but its 10 yo, it never played well with linux, but I feel like recently its much smoother experience on KDE wayland, before I had to use xorg as it was unusable on wayland. I think new major version (6) + constant updates to wayland made it usable, thats why i praise KDE so much, great DE and all their apps (like KDE connect, filelight, partition manager etc.).
