I hope it works out for you as nicely as it did for me.
Yeah, in a perfect world, thats Debian stable. "just works". so much has been changing in the linux world however, similarly with plasma/QT towards QT5. a few years back there was a post for help with kde/debian, KDE hasn't been a priority on debian for awhile(multiple impending priorities like wayland. kDE4 even had known bugs in stable).
LXQT on debian testing has been pretty nice, still early into its development, few rough edges. I prefer QT apps so being able to run them natively is nice, and KDE has always been built to be highly customizable. I can compromise with a non QT windower, but, ultimately only for so long.
(also, i didn't realize how much of an issue ubuntu has been having with wifi. many moons ago that was the downfall of linux, but that was like 2011. So many hits come up from "ubuntu weak wifi signal").
