I wonder how this affects offshoot distros like kubuntu?

I'm currently on Debian with KDE, but I think I might need to move to a rolling release distro due to some issues with SMB/CIFS (that have already been fixed in newest builds of KDE) that probably won't be fixed in Debian until the next release.

Maybe I should start looking at distros in general-- but Ubuntu is definitely out of the picture.

Give KDE Neon a try. It's based on latest Ubuntu LTS with up to date KDE. But it doesn't do everything like Ubuntu (like forcing snaps).
