I’m not assuming anything. He’s suggesting it as a solution. If your suggestion of a solution is to switch distros then Linux is not ready to be a desktop env. And I’ve seen multiple people recommend KDE as a “solution” to people’s problems so forgive me if I took them suggesting it as a solution as them suggesting it as a solution.
I'm responding to the more general sentiment you and BearOfaTime expressed, which is that one is 'always trying to solve strange problems on Linux.' KDE is being offered as a solution in this instance, but it's also just a default in its own right. Contrary to how you're characterising it, it's not a distro, it's not difficult to install, and it absolutely is not obscure.
