In your word, pointless.
Mint Cinnamon. I would choose Zorin Lite (XFCE) as it has nice theme already.
Setup Btrfs + Btrfs Assistant, rollback if any update breaks things you need.
It’s stable enough for me everyday use but this will depend on your use case + hardware setup. Even some people will swear by Manjaro for years without breaking. I found that usually if stuffs break in Arch, i can fix it but not so much if stuffs break by update from Ubuntu/Fedora.
I find it hard to think you care about the beginner experience if you recommend Arch.
Can always change whatever you don’t like, that’s the strong part of KDE, unlike Gnome where you have to rely on 3rd party extensions and hope they don’t break next update.
This is done via storing the unlock key in USB drive and need the USB plugged to auto unlock, see if it helps.
Nvidia driver: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA
Gnome and KDE (other Desktop Environments too) install Nvidia driver the same way.
For partitioning, I suggest to keep it simple, usually the stock config from the distro is good enough. This is useful for troubleshooting if issues arise later.
Big size data like media/games can be kept in other drives.
My comment is based on
MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1from the log in the picture. Look at it again and there’s alsoSocketCreateListener() failed. So OP may check this as wellhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/xorg#SocketCreateListener_error
Check
/etc/hostnameThis is based on the image, the best you can do it check the logs like other comments said, it’s better if the error is identified through the log.
There’s a KDE plugin for Wallpaper Engine

An alternative to Kubuntu is TuxedoOS (similar to PopOS (Gnome) but for KDE). You can also try KDE Neon.
You can use VM to install and try new distro, worst case you make a new VM and start again.
For learning, if it was me I would just roll with Arch, using distro like Garuda that has BTRFS rollback or even EndeavourOS. A fuck up can be saved from BTRFS rollback, back up dual boost or 2nd pc.
Avoid Nvidia.
To get used to the terminal, I suggest using Oh my zsh with zsh-autosuggestions + zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin. Setup link
Linux Mint.
What issues do you have? Maybe try to spend some time to fix the issues and not resort to distro hopping. Learn to fix it and you should know how to deal with the issues on any distros.
Icon: WhiteSur
Cursor: Bibata
Theme KDE(+ Lightly): Catppuccin Macchiato teal (Mocha for terminal)
Catppuccin looks nice and it’s also available for other apps, I even use Catppuccin for Lemmy.
You can still do the auto snapshot daily/weekly plus the manual snapshot whenever big update coming or try something.
