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.

I have had very good luck with Fedora.
I am extremely happy with YUM/dnf and RPMs.
Mixed feelings about snaps.
They are kind of like docker containers but seem to have a bunch of
extra stuff with them.
I have found great utility in containers to solve all kinds of problems
with otherwise unresolvable software dependencies.
YMMV.
I run Gnome.
I tend to do bunches of software testing and installation.
I never run games ( The last one I tried was a Sikorsky LHX helicopter
simulator and nothing yet has come close ).
