Appendix C. Using the KDE Edition of Linux Mint
Until now, we've discussed some of the other editions of Linux Mint such as the MATE and Xfce editions, but we have yet to take a look at the KDE edition. If you've tried the other versions of Mint, you may have noticed that apart from the inherent differences relative to the various desktop environments, each is made to look and function mostly the same. The Mint developers have ported the Mint-X theme to the Xfce, MATE, and Debian editions, so each of them have a very close look and feel. However, the KDE edition is the most unique among the various spins of Mint and is certainly worth taking a look at.
In this appendix, we will discuss the following topics:
- The KDE desktop
- Using Dolphin–KDE's file manager
- Adding Plasmoids to the desktop
- Discovering Mint KDE's default applications
- Utilizing Activities and Workspaces
- Configuring network connections
