A few years ago I switched to KDE and the experience has been so absolutedly seamless and good, and the upgrade to Plasma 6 took some time to propagate down to distros it was well worth the wait!
It seems to be that a project like KDE might be in a very good position to make a very competitive distro simply because they are starting from the point of the user experience, the UI if you will. Think M$ windows, it IS GUI, and fully focused on how the user would use it (I'm thinking the days of XP and Win 7).
A KDE distro might be less encumbered with "X11 vs Wayland" or "flatpak vs <insert package manager name here>" discussions and can fully focus on the user experience that KDE/Plasma desktop brings!
That's exactly what's compelling to me as well. As an absolute fan of KDE and all its features, as well as stability. Who better to seamlessly integrate everything around a KDE desktop than themselves? KDE neon had potential as well, but I really like the notion of an immutable base system and less surprises during an upgrade.

I'm looking forward to take this for a spin!
