I tried the KDE spin of Fedora recently but it was just too buggy:

- Right click menus didn't open in the right place when using a second monitor

- Basic applications like terminal and Dolphin often took more than a second to launch when they should have been instant

- I didn't really like Dolphin and wanted to go back to Nemo. There was a nice setting option to use a different file manager -- great! Except Nemo couldn't launch any programs for some reason. (Double click and then... nothing)

I searched for fixes for all these issues but got nowhere. I posted a bug report for the right click problem and somebody said it was a known problem with qt upstream that was therefore unfixable.

I think KDE has a ton of really cool design decisions and ideas and I love the customizability, but ultimately these bugs were too much and I went to Fedora Cinnamon.
