    I had forgotten that KDE was doing another core showcase distro.

    KDE Linux is an “immutable base OS” Linux distro created using Arch Linux packages, but it should not be considered an “Arch-based distro”; Arch is simply a means to an end, and KDE Linux doesn’t even ship with the pacman package manager.

    KDE Linux leans on Systemd for a great deal of functionality. Updates are atomic and image-based, with the last 5 OS images cached on disk. Only the Wayland session is supported. Apps primarily come from Flatpak and Snap.

    What? This just sounds like a linux fever dream lol. Definitely interested to see what they do though.

    Also, Mint kinda follows Ubuntu’s release cycle, so I would say it’s as up to date as Ubuntu

    They follow Ubuntu LTS… so the core is a every four version which is 2 years between core updates.

    Part of the thoughts on kubuntu was that it will be far more up to date with the KDE versions.

    The two reasons I prefer Mint over native *buntu is because of Cinnamon

    Absolutely. Cinnamon is great. That was the other WM that they liked but eventually decided that they wanted to use KDE.

    They may well decide they want to distro hop or settle into a more stable system that doesn’t change much in the future, but the semi-annual model of changing to the latest UI/UX while still having a longer testing phase ended up being the most appealing option.
