Stable? Good? Bad? Annoying? Is it beginner friendly? Should I try KDE or Gnome?

I’ve only used Mint and SteamOS and from what I understand KDE should be similar to SteamOS Desktop mode because that is KDE based, right?

I don’t plan to distro hop any time soon, but I’m just curious if I ever get a new laptop I might try it to take advantage of it supposedly being descent at performance optimisation

      And this is true on all “traditional” Linux distributions. On arch the commands you run are different but the underlying principle is the same. The equivalent of apt update is pacman -Sy, and apt upgrade is pacman -Su. And these two can be combined to pacman -Syu,[1] in fact arch recommends always doing a system upgrade when doing a list update.

      Also I use KDE, it just works.

      1: Or -Suy the order is not important
