I have no qualms with maintaining a Gentoo installation on my desktop, but on my laptop I want something relatively stable (no-rolling release, prefer something similar to LTS) and hassle free. A great out-of-the-box KDE experience would be nice but not necessary. Currently running Kubuntu, not sure what to switch to. Most "it just works" distros seem to be based on Ubuntu, which defeats the purpose a little. I've considered returning to my first love, Slackware.

Open to suggestions.
