Other than the "Dash to Panel" extension mentioned by another user, you can also use the "Dash to Dock" extension to get pinnable taskbar (can be set to always visible / auto hide).
I no longer use them though (to get more screen space)

I have used Fedora + KDE for the past 5 years. Yes there are occasional issues but they are normally common to all distros which happen to use the same combination of components.
For me, I ran into a regression with compositing: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=354146
After I disabled the desktop effects Fedora 25 was rock solid.
I haven't upgraded to F26, I normally wait a week or two to shake out any big issues.

You can use the "Dash to Panel" extension in Gnome to provide a Windows 7 like bottom panel. I discovered it recently, and it has made my Gnome experience 1000x better.

Ok, you seem to have the same taste as me.
I'm currently on KDE Neon at home and at work until I switched jobs a couple of months ago and I also liked Mint Cinnamon a lot.
For the record Fedora Gnome was rock stable on the same machine. The only reason I didn't keep it is that I need what I call a 'pinnable taskbar' (like Windows 7).
If you really want KDE you could try KDE Neon, still a bit buggy for my taste but at least it's usable.
After a few more distros I settled on Mint Cinnamon. Not bad but frankly I miss Windows.
