Thanks for the tips MC!

With KDE on a constant "upswing" of improvements, makes you wonder why LinuxMint abandoned it... Probably to concentrate their efforts on Cinnamon and their own Debian based LXDE right?

Anyhow, don't want to swing discussion away from present thread.

Good screenshots and tweaking!

Like reviews for pretty much anything the Linux examples are not always reliable. Once you eliminate the shills and other vested interests you end up with a mix of stuff that include Arch and SUSE in their beginner friendly sections for some unknown reason and a few genuine articles. This is always a highly reputable source and sums up my own experience with Cinnamon.

Looking at development for all desktops over the past few years KDE is way ahead of everything else and Mint will definitely suffer for dropping it. No doubt its current marketing standing will continue to carry it through but it’s a shame Mint users will be denied a KDE experience.
