Can't install KDE Plasma "No packages available to install matching 'kde5' have been found in the repositories"
Also while looking at the contents of the installx.sh script you provided, it seems that it is trying to install the same package that I am trying to install manually or via the desktop-installer program (which is included in packages). All of them are trying to install the 'kde5' package, which isn't working at all.

What are the things about Linux you dislike?
The only issues you might have is desktop/laptop hardware support, but if it's not bleeding edge, it's usually fairly well supported. You need to be fairly comfortable with setting up a minimal system, but ghostbsd is a good "distro" -- it's really just a live image of freebsd with a mate desktop already setup. If you want to install freebsd with a gui yourself so you can use plasma or something, I put a script together that sets up sensible defaults: https://github.com/nicholasbernstein/install-fbsd-desktop

About Installing Ubunto to USB on MBR
I know this is about unbuntu, but I use a BSD distro made to run permanently from a USB. It's called Nomad BSD https://nomadbsd.org/ it's pretty fun. It comes with the XFCE desktop and can run Linux apps.
