I had something similar when my drive started to fail.

At first, it was annoying, because the cursor froze all the time, just like yours, then programs started to do the same, then they started to crash without reason, and in the end, even my unbreakable OS (Fedora Atomic) broke randomy and incoherently.

What did I learn? Don’t cheap out on drives, and keep enough backups.

The only issues I had were due to fractional scaling (blurry apps, especially Electron based ones; and windows opening or moving to weird edges, where I can’t move them anymore).

But those were already a few months or a year ago, and since I switched from Gnome to KDE 6, I have zero issues, neither on my laptop (integrated on CPU), nor on my desktop with an AMD GPU.

And even over a year, almost two, ago, Wayland has been very smooth for me. I used Gnome for most of the time, which has always been very solid with Wayland. KDE has been a bit more janky in the past, but nowadays, Wayland feels way smoother and polished than X11 for me.

If the software you have to run is specifically designed for one distro (e.g. something that’s only in the AUR, or written for Debian) you can use Distrobox.

This creates a small, lightweight container that allows you to run any software from all distros on your host.

I, for example, use Fedora Atomic, and I mostly use an Arch container that’s fully customized for me, including having the AUR enabled.

If you liked Kinoite, then you can still consider it and run your stuff via Distrobox

It’s mainly the release model.

Kubuntu is Ubuntu. So, two major updates a year, where the state is basically “frozen” in between. This gives everyone time to fix bugs, giving you a more stable experience.

Neon is rolling release on everything regarding KDE, but has a very stable base OS. Advantage: newest and hottest KDE stuff, but it maybe has some rough edges and doesn’t provide you with the newest kernel, which usually isn’t a big deal, but you might miss out on something.

Is there a reason why you want something Ubuntu based?

You also have a few other options:

• Debian: older (still has KDE 5.27), but very stable and tested
• Fedora KDE: similar to Kubuntu, but more vanilla and less shitty in my personal opinion (Snaps, etc.)
• EndeavourOS: Arch based, beautiful customisations applied OOTB, sane defaults if you like Arch
• Fedora Atomic KDE (Kinoite) or Aurora: the newest image based (immutable) variant. It’s what I use and would recommend. Very reliable!

Try watering the plant way less, add some drainage (perlite and stones on the bottom) or consider transfering them to an inorganic medium like LECA.

It’s too moist and otherwise you’ll get root rot and fungus gnats, which will kill your plant.

As others have said, springtails.
They usually only eat dead stuff, but still can harm the plant sometimes. But mostly, they’re disgusting imo.

Best ways to get rid of them:

• Don’t overwater your soil. Keep it on the dryer side and add some drainage (stones on the bottom, some perlite, etc.) to keep everything aerated
• Or, try switching to inorganic substrate, e.g. pon or LECA. That way, you can get rid of pretty much any soil living pest. But by transplanting the plant you can also kill it, especially since it’s already stressed.
