      Linux Mint stopped their KDE version a while back. They wanted to focus on GTK desktops only.

        @Danny3 you can always install it from ubuntu repo. I prefer/like cinnamon. For me KDE feels so bloated to the point of making me sick of it.

          It's a Cinnamon & GTK focused distribution. That's like me posing in a KDE Neon thread:

          No Gnome. No fun. No Thanks.

              They are really bringing Linux desktop to the masses..
              better Kernel/Package/repair handling, very nice..

                ... except that KDE Neon never had a GNOME edition to begin with, while Mint used to have a KDE edition.

                  Cinnamon is what KDE (and Gnome3 for that matter) should have been like. My only regret is that Cinnamon is so Linux-centric that there's no real way of using it on BSD. I have Mint with a Cinnamon desktop installed for my parents in their joint laptop. Beautiful, intuitive, complete-looking.

                    Looks decent, but too bad for the Windows 7 task bar and for installing Flash if you tick the box for 3rd party software. Why the hell do they still include Flash?
