Linux Mint as been in development for over 15 years. Its good for them to get some press coverage and positive attention.

As far as I can tell most people switching to Linux Mint are fairly happy with the experience beside some minor Linux quarks.

    Real question: Is it not possible to install KDE, even though they do not provide an ISO with it?

      it’s not recommended, it causes massive issues with the built in programs and you will spend ore time fighting your system then just going with a native, I just tried this a few months back

      Possible? Yes. Am I too lazy to do this plus troubleshoot it all the time? Yes.

      I did install it via package manager back when I used this distro and it worked well, but some weeks after, I switched distros to Kubuntu. Now I’m using Arch btw. with latest KDE Plasma (I recommend this).

        At this point, Arch should just rename itself to “Arch btw”.
