So? There’s nothing preventing someone from installing either, and they’re adding Wayland support to Cinnamon.

I did just that when I first switched to Linux, I installed KDE Neon on Linux Mint. And it broke everything. And when I went to forums to ask for help everyone yelled at me. So maybe don’t recommend installing KDE on Linux Mint.

True one can install it on Mint. But at that level, just

  • install Kubuntu
  • add timeshift
  • run unsnap (removes snap, installs flatpak and flathub, installs apps as flatpaks)
  • add the new official deb repo for Firefox
  • remove a possibly installed Firefox Flatpak (has missing sandboxing) and install with apt

While this is not that hard to do if you’re used to linux, I would not reccommend this to someone who is switching from windows.

Yeah probably. Installing Mint and GNOME or Plasma on there will be waay easier.

Use flatpak

Also how do you know snap will stay removed? I wouldn’t be surprised if it magically came back. Might as well use something that’s a little more respectful of your rights. Pop OS or Fedora seem like good choices if you just want gnome wayland. If you want KDE go for Fedora KDE

I moved to Fedora kde. Smaller, newer packages(kde 6), and wayland updated.

There is no reason to fight Ubuntu, just pick something that is not against your priorties. I came from Windows 10 and there was a lot of fighting for respecting user choice.

  • install Kubuntu

Or even better, install KDE Neon. Same as Kubuntu, but with less bloat and the latest KDE Plasma.

Haha no, not even KDE devs use it.

I am on Fedora Kinoite and happy. But this was about Ubuntu, and Fedora simply serves a different use case. Kubuntu and KDE Neon are both Ubuntu LTS.
