My primary environment has been KDE on Fedora for the last 20 years or so.

Wow, great! I have used Fedora for little less than a year some years ago, but then I wasn't happy with having to upgrade distros every 6 months.

I don't upgrade with every version. Usually I do it on odd numbered releases. Sometimes I'll make an exception for something I really need but typically I don't have any issues at all with that approach.
How is fedora on kde

I use the KDE spin when I'm doing a fresh install. I find it to be very good. I tend to tweak my desktop a bit, I don't run with the straight defaults. The software for searching and installing packages seemed to not work well last time I checked but that was years ago- I tend to do all that with the dnf cli.
I have not moved to Wayland yet and it is not the default so that will be a big shift at some point. I also avoid nvidia. I used to use their cards but just got tired of the constant hassle.
I don't really try to push anyone towards Fedora or KDE. There are a lot of great choices when it comes to Linux but for me it's always been good. I run MacOS on my MBP for the few applications I can't run on Linux but that list has become really short. At this point I think Webex is the last thing that's holding me there. My next laptop may be a Lenovo.
