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.

I got the impression Mint isn't best for KDE. For the reasons you mentioned, I guess, because it's not been set up with all those options right for KDE.
I'm also on Mint, and happy to stick with it for some time, but sometimes I've wondered about going back to OpenSUSE, or even trying KDE's own distro. But by then I start thinking about Nix and Guix also, as well as old faithful Arch. Then it's too much choice and I remember how nicely Mint works for me and the family!
