10 years ago, I tried KDE and I hated it. Infact, I always thought KDE sucked. About three years ago, I tried it again and it was surprisingly better. I love that I didn't have to spend multiple hours to just get it tweaked right.
Any of the big named distros should be good enough. If you run into a snag, try a different one. Every distro claims to do it the best way. Choice is a great thing. BTW - If you install Arch .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Valve's Steam Deck uses it and 🔥🔥🚒🚒🚒🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting to me is some new cars will auto brake before crashing, so I guess the issue is "fixed".
