Hello, i am currently looking for a Linux distribution with these criteria:

-it should be more or less stable, comparable to Ubuntu with or without LTS // -it should not be related to IBM to any way (so no fedora/redhat) // -it should not feature snaps (no Ubuntu or KDE neon) // -KDE plasma should be installable manually (best case even installed by default) // -no DIY Distros //

I’ve been thinking about using an immutable distro, but if anyone can recommend something to me, I’d be very grateful //

Edit: I’m sorry for the bad formatting, for some reason it doesn’t register spaces

    What part of that is related to installing a DE side by side another? I’m genuinely asking. Never had to do any of that. Why are you doing it?

        I imagine installing KDE on Mint is not a good experience. You would need to remove the entire desktop, all the iconsets etc. and then install KDE.

        Then WTF are you talking about here? How can your experience in DIY distro be applicable in any way to Mint?

          Oops, wrong comment, the Mint guy not the Debian guy. I would expect some theming issues. In general Mint->remove cinnamom->add plasma-desktop may be fine

            Unless you’re running from a thumb drive, no need to remove anything. That’s really the beauty of it.

                Themes? They’re entirely different DEs. Again, your experience with DIY Linux is worth nothing. Stop spreading misinformation to newcomers.

                  I have experience with GNOME and KDE and their themes overlapped a lot. If you say this is not the case with Cinnamon, that is cool!
