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?

If we are talking easy, and just works... You probably want Mint.

Edit: Somebody below has pointed out there isn't a KDE edition of Mint any more.

Isn't installing KDE on it a task?

My bad, yes I was thinking it was still one of the editions they publish out of the box. Looks like they stopped in 2018!

Mint is a fantastic place to start. Im on Manajro now but Mint was a great introduction to Linux.
