    Just use KDE?

    It is just KDE though. Its just a plasma skin. But what you get by installing Wubuntu instead of a proper distro, and then applying a skin, is supporting a developer with a history of bad security practices and poor behavior. Not to mention the potential copyright issues. This whole project will probably die when Microsoft realises that someone is using their name and trademarks to sell a competing project.

        Am I dumb or Mint still uses Plasma 5 on xorg by default and its wayland support is mediocre?

      Perfectly valid. I’m not endorsing the product, just explaining the use case.
