After testing LM with Cinnamon, and a ubuntu based distribution with KDE… KDE is just better.
What are some things you preferred in KDE over Cinnamon? I haven’t explored KDE much.
The interface looks more recent. Also I can use Wayland, as X11 can be a pain with scaling or specific setups
Apart from that, there are good default apps (although you can download KDE’s stuff anyways), KDE is pretty transparent as an organization. Things like notifications are more sexy than cinnamon. Built in options like Win+P showing screen display works just like windows
Good animations, a good range of default widgets and taskbar config for my needs (it’s pretty limited imo but it’s enough for me)
Terminal is great but I got some problems like .sh scripts not showing a window but just running in background when double clicked. Apart from that, Kate (default editor), Konsole (terminal) are well built
They also have built in support for Nextcloud sync icons in the file browser, which is nice
I prefer the update manager of Mint but no big deal (can’t update only one package in KDE’s GUI)
Things like managing battery and connecting to Bluetooth devices is beautiful. Everything feels premium, fast, sleek.
Arch is pretty reliable
Mint has been glazed since the beginning of time. Not a single laptop or computer I have ever owned has worked out of the box with it. As opposed to alternatives like Ubuntu or Fedora. I must be the single most unlucky person in the history of Linux.
