Post lots of angry messages everywhere, maybe even make a youtube video about how S**T KDE Plasma is and you don’t know why people want to use this unstable garbage.aaaand then try Fedora or OpenSUSE and feel dumb.

So yeah, don’t listen to me, be stubborn and do what you want and install your own choice of distro with its own implemention of Plasma, then get frustrated when it goes bonkers. don’t get me started.their reputation is better than they deserve, at least when it comes to KDE. KDE Neon has an old ubuntu base so that will not be ideal, it will go bellyup sooner or later guaranteed, KaOS is for all things KDE which may not be everybodys cup of tea. Stable Plasma is old and superbuggy Plasma, period. None of the developers use Kubuntu or other ancient things, and they have themselves stated that “stable” Plasma is a downright lie these days.
Plasma development is very fast and fixes/tweaks massive amounts of things every week, things that will never ever be backported. I’m sure this edition will be missed and I hope its users understand our decision.”Īny distro that doesn’t come with the latest KDE Plasma by default is to be avoided.

It will hurt its popularity of course, but I wanted to give users time, either to react right now or to take their time, upgrade and adapt to this later on. I wanted this announcement to come before the release. With Linux Mint 18.3, we’ll release one more KDE edition. KDE is amazing but it’s not what we want to focus on. We focus on things we do well and we love doing to get better and better at doing them. Our own mission isn’t to diversify as much as possible in an effort to attract a bigger chunk of the Linux market, and it’s with a bit of sadness that we’re letting this edition go.

They will be able to port Mint software to Kubuntu itself also, or they might want to trade a bit of stability away and move to to a bleeding edge distribution such as Arch to follow upstream KDE more closely.
They will be able to install KDE on top of Linux Mint 19 of course and I’m sure the Kubuntu PPA will continue to be available. I know from their feedback that they really enjoy it. Users of the KDE edition represent a portion of our user base. When we work on tools like Xed, Blueberry, Mintlocale, the Slick Greeter, we’re developing features which benefit these 3 desktops, but unfortunately not KDE. We like to integrate solutions, develop what’s missing, adapt what’s not fitting perfectly, and we do a great deal of that not only around our own Cinnamon desktop environment but also thanks to cross-DE frameworks we put in place to support similar environments, such as MATE and Xfce. We’re a product distribution and we see ourselves as a complete desktop operating system. We’re not just shipping releases and distributing upstream software. Their apps, their ecosystem and the QT toolkit which is central there have very little in common with what we’re working on. KDE is a fantastic environment but it’s also a different world, one which evolves away from us and away from everything we focus on. I don’t think this would have been possible without them. The rapid pace of development upstream from the KDE project made this very challenging, yet they managed to provide a stable flow of updates for us and we were able to ship good KDE editions thanks to that. The quality of Plasma 5 in Xenial made backports a necessity. I would like to thank Kubuntu for the amazing work they have done. “In continuation with what’s been done in the past, Linux Mint 18.3 will feature a KDE edition, but it will be the last release to do so.
