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.

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.

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 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.
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.

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)

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.
