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.

    KDE is is designed to be customized at the cost of user friendliness. Cinnamon has a lot customization but it isn’t as overwhelming and is much more stable. It also is GTK which is nice.

      Yeah, great, you don’t like KDE. Good for you. What does it have to do with me liking KDE very much?

        Because the Linux Mint team (I think it was on guy at that point) decided that KDE could not be adjusted to make the desktop they wanted. KDE isn’t designed to be made into a separate system and neither is modern gnome. Gnome 2 was ideal and that is why it was forked and turned into cinnamon.

        Linux Mint aims to be simple and easy to use. I don’t believe KDE does that as well. The good news with KDE is that is is very customizable for those who like to tinker will the desktop.

        I also think Linux Mint is heavily invested in GTK. Using KDE would involve a significant shift. What’s wrong with KDE Neon?
