    Poorly, Kubuntu uses the broken Plasma 5.27 for a while until the next release afaik.

    Really that was kind of the plasma guys fault, but Plasma 6.0.2 or so was really stable. Perfect LTS candidate. Then the new features came in, now it is stable again (on Fedora).

    I used Kubuntu and the outdated Plasma and many packages were annoying. Nowadays snaps, and removed base packages.

      I looked into distros using plasma 6 for a bit, but decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It’s also a not trivial boot setup (dual boot with w11 and bitlocker + LUKS + secureboot) and the (k)ubuntu installer just handled it flawlessly (meaning not having to enter my bitlocker key on every boot)

      Works fine for me (except some weird locale issue, but I knew that in advance)

        CentOS Stream 10 will likely use Plasma 6. That will be great.

        They always add features and in Fedora it is a bit breaky breaky again. After a few minor updates its fine again, and just getting better.

        Just the icons are missing I think, then it would be a great LTS.

        Kubuntu uses Calamares, which is a nice installer. But I managed to wipe a drive once! Because by default it loses the destination drive selection, I went back to check if everything was fine and it selected my main drive again, I continued without noticing. woops!
