I’ve used ubuntu for years, recently switched to kubuntu and am happy with it, any reasons I should look at switching distros?

I’m capable of fixing things if they go wrong, and like to make my own tweaks occaisionally, but really I just want things to run smoothly without too much fuss.

I actually use Endeavor OS on a laptop, which is basically Arch packaged to be easy to install for relative noobs like me. It’s been great so far. But yeah, I agree, with the other poster. If you like your distro there’s probably no big reason to switch.

Arch is great because the package manager, pacman, is super easy and kept neurotically updated at all times for an insane amount of packages. The ArchWiki is also amazing. However, if you’re happy with Kubuntu I don’t see any major reason to switch outside of curiosity.
