One of my friends spent like a month distrohopping just to find a debian-based distro that fits these two criteria:

  • First-class support for KDE

  • Isn't broken all the time

Ubuntu fails both. KDE Neon excels on the first one, but fails harder than ubuntu on the second one. Kubuntu as well. Debian has horridly outdated packages, and he refuses to use nix/flatpak. Tuxedo OS is obscure and broken. Mint is great, but installing KDE takes some effort.

He finally settled on Ubuntu Server with the native KDE package. Still has to do some weird incantations to banish snap tho.

How did things get this bad?

How did Pop!_OS fare?

You are about to do something potentially harmful.
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!'

But speaking seriously, I think he tried it for a while and didn't like it either... not sure why specifically tho, I'll ask him
