You might consider Solus OS, an independent that is not derived from Arch, Debian, SUSE, Fedora or anything else. Built from the ground up. I've been using Solus since 2017, and have been happy with it. Solus is focused on the use case of an "ordinary home desktop user", and is remarkably stable and reliable.

But you want a Kde plasma. A lot of... Source: about 1 year ago
