I will admit I largely forgot about KDE. They haven't strayed as badly as some of the others, but even with KDE it seems like the focus is shifting to the question of how to get on tablets (ie: Spark or Vivaldi or whatever it is now) and things like social desktop and semantic desktop tools, neither of which are of use to me.

While the noise related to KDE is focused on these new things, they aren't abandoning the old ways of doing things in the process.
The social desktop and semantic desktop tools are options. You may not like that they default to on, but they are pretty trivial to turn off.
Another mobile Linux?

True. What I couldn't apparently turn off was akonadi, which seemed to want to fill my disk with messages about how it was going slowly insane. Which is the main reason I'm running XFCE now instead of KDE.
