Kubuntu is just an Ubuntu spin, so I’m gonna say yeah, probably. If you really like Deb flavored distros these days, just go with the OG.

way too difficult to set up, i don't have a lot of free time so i need an "out of the box" distro

LMDE? The comfort of Mint with the stability of Debian. I picked it for my wife, who doesn't want to mess with configs and tinkering around. I play tech support for her system when something goes wrong though.

Seconding LMDE, been on it for a year on my study laptop. Literally never ever had a problem so far, and being an "out of box" distro there's minimal work needed to daily drive.

i currently use mint and only want to switch because cinnamon has this weird thing when you have a game running, window resizing is laggy. i often have btd6 running when I'm working so it bugs me. kde doesn't suffer from that.

Q4OS is debian with KDE and it's made for ex-Windows users

never heard of this one. definitely going to try it!

Debian is honestly pretty trivial to set up these days.

If you’re open to trying Fedora, I’ve been running F40KDE and Kinoite on two of my main personal laptops and I love them

i have tried fedora and nobara a few times but they randomly make my hdd unmountable and it's difficult to get it back. even after installing a different distro.
