Fedora 39 KDE Spin has been flawless so far, and I love the window tiling native support. Also, suspend on Nvidia works again for me.. not sure if it's related or driver release coincidence.

Real tiling (ala i3) or just Kwin snapping?

  There's a Sway spin of Fedora now that you might like.

I second this. KDE spin has been absolutely fantastic on both my custom desktop (all AMD) and my Framework 13.

  I was mulling what to put on my framework 13 that's nearly en route, I think I'm going to give this a shot.

For me unfortunately the spin has been broken: when trying to login into KDE Plasma Wayland session, I see a frozen image of my laptop's vendor logo (Dell) or the last "black screen image available" (like the underline cursor in top-left corner). The session works if I login through another tty (F2 or any other F key) and type `startplasma-wayland`, but not through SDDM. X11 works fine too. It's just the transition from SDDM -> Plasma wayland, for some reason.

  For me the only KDE distribution that works is OpenSuse. I tried many others (including Fedora KDE spin) and had significant issues each time. Even KDE Neon was a disappointment. So I’m in the green chameleon land for now.

    How's the grass there? Do you like it? I pondered about moving to OpenSuse, just to diversify, but I'm afraid my work laptop (Dell Inspiron) may not have the same support like Fedora provides (wifi card, "special" firmware updates, etc). In my personal computer I use Arch. It took some time to adjust to `dnf` and copr concept of fedora. For example, since fedora isn't a rolling release distro, I had to jump through hoops to get emacs wayland to work.

  Yep, this is the kind of stuff I see with KDE all the time. I find it weird that people praise it for stability.

    I tried Fedora KDE (I was using gnome) a year back and faced a lot of problems. Maybe its something to do with Fedora and not KDE, but I had a terrible experience with KDE.
