I run mint-mate and I hear about people who lose input devices and such. I have never had a problem with mint where I lose devices after an update. Mint-mate has been rock-solid for as long as I can remember.

 I've been using Gentoo and KDE exclusively since 2004 on a bunch of different machines, and SuSE and KDE before that.  KDE's heavier than some things.  However, Gentoo's KDE has only been glitchy for me during the early 4.x releases.

Are other distros building their KDE packages from the unstable super-latest stuff the devs have typed in or something?  I've had more problems with Xorg than with KDE over the last few years.  (This is usually because in Gentoo the Xorg server doesn't necessarily depend on the keyboard and mouse Xorg modules.  So updating Xorg may not update the keyboard and mouse modules, so the next time you restart X, *poof* no input devices.)
