Folk,
A few versions of Fedora ago, I got a little frustrated with the way
KDE was running on my laptop. I don't remember the actual problem,
really. I think it had to do with not being able to download and
install icons or themes or some other eyecandy; there was always some
sort of failure. The upshot was that I was more loyal to my desktop
than my distro and switched to KDEneon since it worked.
But, I've always had a soft spot for Fedora; I've been using it off
and on ever since it has existed (and Red Hat Linux or Mandrake before
that). I'm getting the itch to give it a go again, probably when 31 is
finalized.
So... for the KDE users out there, how is Fedora doing with KDE
nowadays?

No issues here.
You can check the kde mailing list to see that it is rather quite.

If simple questions can be answered with a simple google query then why are there so many
of them?

Been using it for years, they had a problem early on with plasma, had to
run another UI for a bit. Works great now

I only have one problem and That's sound not working over HDMI on my laptop. Assist
from that no issues since F27. Prior to that there were some problems here and there, but
that's long gone.

In F29 with an nVidia G710 and the rpmfusion 430.40 driver, HDMI stereo
sound works stably for me - mainly with MythTV. I have
alsa-plugins-pulseaudio and kde-settings-pulseaudio installed and kde
SystemSettings has a virtual device with simultaneous audio output from
HDMI2 and Built in Analog audio. These appear as ALSA:default and can
be controlled independently from the Speaker widget.
kdeinit5 reports crashes in F29, F30 after upgrade, and debian sid. It
gives popups when closing dolphin or kate and also at random, but seems
mainly harmless. Lots of BZs and reports on the kde-fedora list.

I have it on both my desktop and laptop. No issues for me. Been using
it for years.
One issue I ran into was using wayland with KDE on my 2 monitor desktop
with virtual desktops. The virtual desktops just started working with
the most recent release under wayland. There were also some other
issues with getting it to work the way I was used to with 2 screens -
how the screens looked at login, what was on the left screen and what
was on the right screen etc., but I didn't have time to play around with
it. Now that I'm retired (old UNIX/Linux system admin) I'll give it
another shot when 31 is officially released and I upgrade and I have
more time.

It's my daily driver. I occasionally fire up Gnome to see I'm missing
something, find it too alien, then revert to KDE after a few minutes.
As you may remember, Fedora KDE has its own mailing list so you may
want to ask there.

I have the inverse experience:
I occasionally fire up KDE to see I'm missing something, find it too
alien, then revert to Gnome after a few minutes. ;)
(But if you like aliens it's a solid polished product and works well
with Wayland in latest version)

Most machines running F30 with no issues. One machine. 2005 nVidia
video card and I have issues with any driver I have tried. Frame buffer
errors.
With current drivers and current nVidia card, no issues at all.
Had major issues with an older AMD video that kept locking up. Not that
old of a video at the time but no working driver.
On a older laptop, as with Windows, add an SDD driver and it will work
much better. I use KDE on an old HP laptop, dual core, 4G ram with now
major issues, just slow.
As I write this.
5.2.15-200.fc30.x86_64
A few years ago, plasma was a headache so could be related to that.
On F29, an issue with plasma but not 30. Only once did it ever lock up
on me on my main desktop and that was related to an external drive.
Older nVidia video card on an much older machine, I do have issues.
