P.S: Even though I liked Gnome 40 on Wayland, I'm still more into traditional desktop paradigm, which is why I currently use Mate (a grossly underrated DE imo).

I'm writing this using KDE Plasma under X11. As usual, there are some external factors that may cause problems. But KDE Plasma works in a stable way in several computers that I manage, and in two Kubuntu virtual machines (one for VMware and another for VirtualBox). If Plasma wasn't stable it wouldn't work in those virtual machines, and it works very well.
Anyone can try a Kubuntu virtual machine downloading it from https://www.linuxvmimages.com/images/kubuntu-2204 , running it and seeing it for himself.

Stop right there, Tumbleweed is rolling beta software. I've been an OpenSuse user since the times of the ancient Greeks but there is no way I'll use it as a daily driver.
Btw, it's funny that on this forum I once wrote that I use Kubuntu, and then someone replied that it sucks and that I should use a rolling release KDE distro to get the latest KDE features and fixes.Last edited by user1; 14 May 2022, 08:54 AM.

However being old and wise I've learned to let others be early adopters, I no longer have the energy for late nights and lots of fresh coffee.

You know what? not long ago I had a low opinion about Wayland in general. But when I've used Gnome 40 Wayland (on Fedora 34) a few months ago, it was one of the most rock solid Linux desktop experiences ever since I started using Linux. Not a single crash. And wayy more stable than KDE (yes, even on x11). KDE seems to be the only DE where you have these ridiculous bugs like when you customize your panel, plasma shell crashes if you move your cursor "in a certain way", or when you turn your monitor off and then on, Plasma desktop crashes. Issues like these make me think the whole KDE codebase needs some major code refactoring, otherwise bugs like these will keep creeping in again and again.

I've used it a few times before (with KDE as well) and I don't remember having issues with the distro before. Btw, I can't think of any non rolling release KDE distros other than Kubuntu or Fedora KDE. Still that doesn't disprove my point. Kubuntu might have the more stable KDE experience since it usually ships the latest point release of a certain Plasma version (I've used it a lot as well), but even then, it wasn't as stable as other DE's because of the occasional crashes.
