Linux barely works as it is. I no longer have any interest in debugging my desktop technical problems. Which means my best option is to use the most popular environment so when I do encounter an issue, there is likely to be someone who has already encountered the same issue and reported a solution.

Until Ubuntu switches to KDE, I am stuck in the Gnome-lets-remove-desktop-icons-because world.

Ubuntu already have a KDE flavour; https://kubuntu.org/

Myself I'm running XUbuntu (XFCE) as my daily driver, works excellently and I have no issues doing what I need to do.

Here you go[1]. Official[2] Ubuntu with KDE.

1. https://kubuntu.org/

2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubuntu

Edit: OK, "officially blessed".

I wouldn't call it official, it's a side project run by the community. 'Official' would be something created and supported by Canonical. It's a moot point though since you get the exact same thing by installing Ubuntu without a gui and then doing 'apt install plasma-desktop'.
