Linux Mint team kills the KDE edition
 

Not sure why it was there in the first place

The Linux Mint team have finally decided to pull the plug on the the KDE Edition.

The Linux community had widely thought that having a version of Mint using KDE was redundant and confusing.

Now it seems that the Mint team has agreed to pull the plug. Clement Lefebvre, Linux Mint spokesman said:

"In continuation with what's been done in the past, Linux Mint 18.3 will feature a KDE edition, but it will be the last release to do so. I would like to thank Kubuntu for the amazing work they have done. The quality of Plasma 5 in Xenial made backports a necessity. The rapid pace of development upstream from the KDE project made this very challenging, yet they managed to provide a stable flow of updates for us and we were able to ship good KDE editions thanks to that. I don't think this would have been possible without them," says Lefebvre.
