Asked By TechieNinja42 On

I'm a big fan of Linux Mint, but I'm not a fan of the Cinnamon desktop environment. I'm wondering if it's possible to run KDE on Linux Mint or if there are other distributions out there that come with KDE pre-installed. Any suggestions for a good setup?

Yes, you can technically run KDE on Linux Mint, but it's not the best idea. The GTK and Qt toolkits don't always play nicely together, which can lead to various issues. If you're looking for a smoother experience, I’d recommend using a distro specifically designed for KDE. Options like KDE Neon, Kubuntu, and Fedora KDE are great alternatives.

While installing KDE on Mint is possible, it might lead to some crashes and instability since Mint is primarily built for Cinnamon. I'd suggest exploring distros like KDE Neon for the latest Plasma features or OpenSUSE for a solid experience.

If you're open to switching distros, I suggest trying Fedora with KDE or Kubuntu. Installing KDE on Mint is doable, but there are a lot of distros that offer better KDE integration out of the box.
