What's everyones opinion of the two? I enjoy KDE Plasma and want to use an Ubuntu based system but don't have any experience with these two distros.

I'll add that Kubuntu is still on Plasma 5.27 and you'll have to wait until 24.10 to get the Plasma 6 goodness.

I'll also add that everyone forgets openSUSE Tumbleweed as an alternative.

Oh yeah! Definitely!

Tumbleweed is one of the best Plasma experiences you can get and not as widely known as it should be.

Plasma 6 bugs have only recently come down to the level of its predecessor, according to Nate.

What do you like about it that isn't available in Plasma 5.27?

Maybe I was lucky but I didn't experience many bugs with Plasma 6. One or two minor ones that were fixed quickly.

What I like about it is that Plasma with Wayland is now mostly bearable with an Nvidia card. It just needs Tumbleweed to update the Nvidia drivers and I think it will there. To the point I am considering trying EndeavourOS which I'm sure already has the latest drivers.

I’ve used endeavor and liked it a lot. Have you checked out cachyOS? That’s my personal choice recently.

I have now. It looks quite interesting too. I'm still trying to convince myself that out of date Nvidia drivers are a reason to move, guess I'll see if we get the 560 drivers.
