Just a single data point, but I had GNOME hanging and crashing in clean Ubuntu and Fedora installs as recently as 2022.

I've migrated to Mint and haven't tried KDE for the last 10 years, but I would have a hard time calling GNOME stable.

Yeah similar experience here, At work we are forced to use a distro with GNOME (well at least it is GNU/Linux and not that Microsoft bloated spyware) and yeah I have plenty of crashes in GNOME. No crashes at home with KDE Plasma on openSUSE Tumbleweed. It has been rock stable.

On the other hand, I haven't had GNOME crash in years. KDE 3 or 4 times in the past year.

YMMV
