Why wouldn't you consider Debian?  I run it on a firewall, my personal
computer, our media center and two music server rasberry PIs.

I run some stations KDE, some XFCE and some headless.
There is no requirement to take snapd.
If you feel Debians release cycle is too slow, follow the testing branch
as I do.
Development environments, editors, text and graphics manipulation, git
tooling, servers: its all there.

Thanks. Ugh.

Your timing is perfect, because I'm just about to do a fresh install and this would be the time to decide on something else.

I'm looking for an alternative that will offer support for a KDE version as well as Steam and my fairly-new AMD graphics card (RX 6500 XT). I'd also prefer to live snap-free.

Mint and Pop don't support KDE, SuSE has problems with Steam and I'm exhausted enough that I don't want one more learning curve wrt the Arch way of doing things. Right now my best choices appear to be MX, KDE Neon (if I install the 32-bit libraries for Steam) and (if I want to go back to an RPM-based system for the first time since Mandriva ceased,) Fedora KDE.

Any suggestions, either from these choices or something else? Thanks again.

    [Last paragraph]
    I think the launch of Ubuntu 22.04 is a clear sign Canonical is much
    more interested in publishing releases on a set schedule than producing
    something worthwhile. This version was not ready for release and
    it's is
    probably going to be a costly endeavour to maintain this collection of
    mixed versioned software and mixed display server and mixed designs for
    a full five years. It's a platform I would recommend avoiding.
