The fact that Slackware is still using KDE4 is very appealing to me. My
command line skills are not at the Slackware level, but I bet I can find a
Slackware-based distro that is more to my liking that's still using KDE4.
Too bad Slax moved away from KDE. I used to use Slax for certain simple
tas
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
familiarit
Thanks Ben

Slackware 14.2 is currently using KDE 4.14. It is very nice but not the
latest so if you follow the updates from KDE it might look like stuff is
missing :(
But there is a contributor for the project that runs the ktown repo for
bleeding edge versions of KDE and its dependencies. I don't use it
Since KDE version 4 they have split the desktop environment into a few
chunks.
They have the KDE SC, Software Compilation which is the applications
that ship with the DE. Basically all the things that windows has by
default - a calculator, basic web browser, Kwrite (instead of notepate)
etc.

So much for installing a dual boot Mint 18.3 I was about to perform. At
work I use FC28 with KDE, mainly for bleeding edge, and for libre'ness. At
home I want something that has better media support. I'm not a fan of
Gnome, and I've been unable to comprehend Unity (haven't tried that hard
TBH).
Mint is discontinuing their KDE Plasma release. It's not that they will
still use KDE apps without Plasma. They no longer produce a distro that
includes any aspect of the KDE software project.Here is Mint's blog
post announcing that they will stop producing a KDE Mint distro: "

To the best of my knowledge the only distribution that switched to Wayland
was vanilla Ubuntu, derivatives like kubuntu and xubuntu did not. So that
may not be your problem after all.

I'm interested in that last statement. Is Mint discontinuing a KDE
release? How do you release KDE w/o Plasma?

Jason, That is useful info. I will be trying Kubuntu 18.04 to see if it's
up to the task of replacing Mint KDE for myself, friends, & family. Mint
has abandoned KDE Plasma, unfortunately.
