Are there any nice Linux distributions that are primarily based around KDE that I might have missed? I use Kubuntu right now, but it always feels a little like a second-class citizen compared to the mainstream Ubuntu.

Does anyone have any recommendations? The sheer number of distros on Distrowatch is a little overwhelming.

Slackware is, and most of its derivatives like SalixOS. The mainline comes with older KDE version: 4.8.5 -- but a longtime contributor, Alienbob, provides recent compilations at http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/kde-releases-4-9-3/

There you go: http://goo.gl/ZowwQ

64 GNU/Linux distributions that use KDE. Rock and Roll!

I personally use ArchLinux x86_64 with KDE 4.9.3 => UberAwesome!

OpenSuse seems like a good one.It uses KDE by default.

This is technically incorrect, since both Gnome and KDE are first-class citizens (and so is XFCE). You get to choose upon installation, and all three DEs are in the official main repository.

(This is just a minor correction. By all means, go with openSUSE, KDE support has been excellent for me over the years.)

I have only heard good things about Chakra[1], but unfortunately I have yet to try it out myself. It's based on Arch linux and tries to be as pure KDE/Qt as possible.
