I’m wondering what the differences are.

I started using Linux with Mint (Cinnamon), and have been hopping around.

I would prefer KDE - I tried MX (KDE) and Kubuntu. The tools in MX were a few years old. Kubuntu has the “latest” of most things. I was having some problems with KDE so decided to go back to Cinnamon.

I’m finding similar from Mint to Ubuntu Cinnamon - everything Ubuntu seems to have newer versions of packages, especially the kernel.

For some reason I like to keep up with tools, but I’ve read KDE Neon is way too unstable, so I didn’t bother. I’m also finding the Ubuntus on 24.10.1 are unstable (anything that involves lots of data transfer between disks or over network freezes the system)

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts. I’m not so much attached to a distro. I just prefer KDE and/or Cinnamon over others.
