I’m not a beginner anymore, but I’m much less interested in technical tinkering for its own sake than I used to be. These days I just want my computer to work properly without too much intervention from me.

I’ve been using Kubuntu for a number of years, but I’m also hearing increasing complaints about how Canonical is running things. I don’t think I’m ready to switch to a new distro yet, but it wouldn’t hurt to know what’s out there.

Is Kubuntu still a good choice for an “it just works” KDE-based distro, or has it been surpassed?

    I’ve been a long time user of Debian + Gnome, but I’ve recently been using Fedora KDE spin as my daily driver just to mix things up a bit. I’d say Fedora is on par with Ubuntu with not having to tinker too much. The only thing I think I’ve had to really intervene with is getting the Nvidia driver going. Everything else I use just works, and there are plenty of packages available in the repo(s) for anything I’m not building myself.
