The first mistake is using Kubuntu. It's always been a buggy mess.

I'm actually kind of convinced it's built to make regular Ubuntu look good.

Per some feedback, I tried on another distro. Fedora 43 (hot off the presses) only has some of these bugs. I couldn't reproduce 1, 2, and 4 here on Fedora 43 KDE live.

The first mistake is using Kubuntu. It’s always been a buggy mess.

Considering my experience with Kubuntu 24.04, I'm inclined to agree. But it gets top billing on kde.org because (it seems) Ubuntu pays more money than SUSE.

I would use KDE Neon before I'd bother trying kubuntu yet again. Manjaro does a reasonable KDE version as well. Maybe Endeavour and Open SUSE too.

Fedora KDE is my distro of choice though.

I've been using Kubuntu for awhile and on my hardware it works best, but I just found out about mxlinux, and when I get a chance im going to try that.

Sucks too cuz mint looks amazing, but runs like shit no matter what I do.
