Kubuntu has a bad reputation for a reason.

The fractional scaling could use some work, agreed. The foundations seem rock solid, but work on new stuff (e.g. wayland, fractional scaling) could be quicker.

I use kubuntu as my preferred system and love it.

I will say that in my experience initial releases are often kinda glitchy or something, and that it can take awhile for brand new hardware etc to be supported well. But it's usually solved by just waiting a bit for the second version.

Classic flamewar statement here, but I've had fewer headaches overall with kubuntu than gnome flavors of Ubuntu (which Ive had to use for work). Deb+kde is a great combination. Maybe there's a better way to get that but I've always gone back to kubuntu when I've tried something else.

Kubuntu at least boots. I was trying neon first, which refused to do so on my laptop.
Ah I was about to suggest neon as it’s been very stable here. There is still that bug with X11 and scaling, but Wayland worked for me so I stuck with it.
