The amusing part of all of this is I really don't use any advanced features of KDE. I just like the overall look/feel. I have no idea what enhancements Plasma brought to the table. Mint/XFCE is an ok solution, I'm using it for an old laptop with limited RAM. I just have much more KDE familiarity, so I'm loathe to change desktops.
