      @ReversalHatchery I mean, that’s fair. But if your gripe is with Ubuntu there are plenty of other KDE-focused distro releases to go with (KDE Neon, Fedora KDE Spin, Kinoite, etc) that would probably accomplish this in a cleaner fashion. You’d also get Plasma 6 as opposed to Mint’s KDE 5.

      Adding a Qt-based DE to Mint’s GTK-focused environment just seems a little messy and wasteful in storage. It’s fully possible and to each their own, but… why, when there are better ways to use KDE?

        Opensuse!

        Yast is one of the most fully featured package managers and tumbleweed is damn good and they lean fully into KDE.

        I even run opensuse Kalpa (KDE immutable) and it is pretty rock solid outside of steam flatpak.
