From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OpenSuse Leap might be closer to what you are looking for.
I love OpenSUSE Leap KDE! Been using it on my living room.
But the question still stand: Any RHEL-based with first-class KDE support?
I actually thing that Fedora is your best bet here. Especially if you really need Red Hat based.
I personally (and professionally) use Debian/Ubuntu based most of the time. I've tried Fedora several times over the last few years, but it just never sit right with me, especially the package manager and how much it sticks to GNOME stuff, even with its KDE spin.
I've been trying to get into RHEL based out of curiosity.
Isn't the package manager the same on CentOS/RHEL and Fedora? I mean, they are all rpm based distributions. OpenSUSE is also rpm based btw.
That is true, RHEL and Fedora both uses dnf. This is probably why I'm having a hard time getting into RHEL.
Meanwhile, OpenSUSE uses zypper which is different from dnf. In fact some .rpm packages are incompatible between the two.
