I have been a Gnome user for years (8 years), and I'm looking for recommendations to a Linux distribution that offers good KDE integration/experience. Some details to mention:

• the environments speed,
• selection of default apps,

Thanks

I have been a Gnome user for years (8 years), and I'm looking for recommendations and comparisons of Linux distributions that offers good KDE integration/experience. Some details to mention:

• the environments speed,
• selection of default apps
• whether it's a modified KDE
• what makes the distro special regarding KDE and KDE/QT apps?
• Employed or active KDE developers who are also distro developers
• integration with gtk apps
• how friendly is it for a novice user (e.g. all cli, do it yourself, or pretty much set up to just work)

Thanks
