From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been using linux for some time now, i would still say i'm quite a noob but i've tried different desktop environments, for my experience i found GNOME to always be suited for me, anyway i heard many good opinions on KDE and i would love to try that too, i've tried cinnamon before and couldn't really see myself using it, i've seen Kubuntu and looks quite lovely, what's in your opinion the distro that best implements KDE on Debian or preferably Ubuntu?

Debian is Debian based.

I would say i never considered Debian seriously, but after learning a bit more about it the perspective of a highly stable / not buggy OS on which i can easily switch between DEs , and without snaps really tingles me.

And if you want rolling release, Testing is a pretty decent experience, just be mindful that security updates come a little slower.

IMHO, Debian is not the best choice for KDE, especially if you are on Wayland. KDE is a bit more buggy than GNOME, but bugs are fixed constantly at a fast pace, and Wayland support gets better. With Debian, you are stuck with the old version and have to wait 2 years for bugfixes. Kubuntu would be a better pick since it has interim releases with more recent KDE and also official backports with fresher KDE version.

Yes testing is probably better for KDE, it's great on workstations if you want a rolling release.
