I'm like the energizer bunny hopping from one distro to another. :)
I really enjoyed my time with the Fedora KDE Spin. I would heartily recommend it, it was solid, I ran into no update issues even with Nvidia drivers (Fedora updates kernel fairly frequently), and I was able to configure it to look like I wanted it to look.
Despite the fact that KDE was more memory efficient, performed well, and gave me few headaches, I am just not a huge KDE fan. Don't get me wrong... I *liked* it, I am just do not prefer it over gtk-based UIs.
When I started shifting back to linux a couple of years ago, I believe it was Solus that I started with. I enjoyed it, but it felt a little restrictive in some ways back then... and it helped trigger my distro hopping. Since the "shake up" that occurred last year the Solus team has been working like crazy to improve Solus. I'd say their work has paid off and this was a very smooth install, and performance has been quite good. I immediately installed Nvidia drivers through their utility, installed Wine and related apps, installed my favorite games and so far the game performance seems even better than with Fedora. Subjective I guess, but it could also be recent updates to the game that made IT more efficient as well.
Anywho... this is where I am at right now.
