Yeah, I've actually installed KDE on Linux Mint, and it does work.  I was just a little skeptical after seeing people recommend against doing so.  Also, years ago, I had installed Cinnamon on Ubuntu..

Also, while it works, the version of KDE Plasma included in the repo for Linux Mint is a 5.x version, which is older than the one included in KUbuntu 25.10 (6.x).  I also noticed a couple features in the display settings that weren't available, which are available in the 6.x version included with KUbuntu.  I imagine it would probably be fine, but for now I decided to install KUbuntu as it has the newer version of KDE Plasma.  And I think it looks & works fairly well.

I was mainly wondering about what would happen when I try to update to the next major version of the distro and if anything would break..  I haven't tried that with an alternate DE installed.
