I suggest trying KDE Neon. It's a distribution created by the KDE team on Ubuntu LTS. The KDE Plasma Desktop is updated continuously by the team using mostly standard Ubuntu Base. If you're interested in gaming, consider installing a patched kernel like the one from Liquorix and follow their setup guide. After that, meet Protons and Lutris requirements by installing Steam.
You can find KDE Neon on the official KDE website or through their package repositories.
KDE Neon is excellent, yet QT updates sometimes lead to problems. For beginners, Kubuntu is a solid choice. If you're starting out with Linux, Arch is actually more straightforward than many think. Just check the wiki on Archlinux for details about tools and installation steps. Manjaro offers a preconfigured Arch setup and is marketed as more stable and thoroughly tested, especially after past QA challenges. While it functions, I personally don’t trust the Manjaro team. The benefit of an Arch-based system is a smoother gaming experience with modern kernels, such as AMD support out of the box. The 5.4 kernel in Ubuntu isn’t ideal for gaming, but it can cause issues with certain titles. It’s true that LTS releases have limitations. I’d recommend Kubuntu 20.10 and upgrade to 21.04 soon, as the next major release will bring better community support. Personally, I use Fedora 33, but I’m not a gamer.
