From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Like u/lukmyly013 said, I'd love an official KDE version to mint. It isn't that hard to get going, and I like cinnamon well enough on most things, but there are a few situations where I'd like to have plasma out of the box

They had a KDE version for a while. Ended up dropping it since all of their in-house tools and stuff were GTK.

Now they only have 3 GTK DE options.
