alt Hacker NewsThere's nothing in there that interests me. I love it.
I want my OS updates to be boring. Granted I'm using Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE) so the Gnome stuff has nothing to do with my use, but the fact that there is nothing there that I have to fix or anticipate or work around or develop a new workflow for is terrific. That's what I love about the Ubuntu family - the last time I had a major upheaval with my desktop system was the year after KDE 4.0 was released... I think over a decade and a half ago. I really have not had to think about my desktop since.

Out of curiosity if you want stability over all else, what's the benefit of Kubuntu over the KDE blend of Debian?

snaps and rust coreutils gave me a lot of headache in the beginning.

A key difference is support lifespan, though: 5 years of standard security maintenance for regular Ubuntu[1], and 3 years for Kubuntu[2].
