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

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.

In my experience mixing themes is a bad idea. So yeah, remove stuff.

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!

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.
