I have noticed that most people with negative reviews seem to be trying to use distros derived from Ubuntu. Mint, Neon, or Ubuntu itself, it never ends well. I've played with Ubuntu a couple times and have never been impressed.

I've used KDE desktops for years in Arch and Gentoo distros without any serious issue. Seriously, if you are interested in KDE, give Arch a try.

Neon is supposed to be the reference implementation, not just another mispackaging distro. Neon should be stabler than any other distro, in theory.

Ive had this small breaking (Kontakt/Kmail in particular) on many different distro's, Tumbleweed and Fedora included. I suspect small changes in config formats that are not handled between upgrades?

The only rock steady distro I've found is Debian Stable, perhaps not very surprisingly. That of course comes at the cost of running older versions, but for me it's worth it.
