looking around online it seems possible but apparently not a good experience? i think the posts were a bit old so maybe something has changed since then

Edit: i don’t want to hop distro, i just want to change the desktop manager.

    Or if OP wants to stay in the Debian/Ubuntu based brach KDE Neon, Debian + KDE (+ LMDE repo), or Kubuntu 22.04 + Mint repos.

      i’d rather not hop distros entirely, the way in understand it desktop interfaces like cinnamon and plasma run on top of the actual OS, so it’s possible to swap them without having to reinstall. i could very well be wrong tho

      I used Kubuntu and KDE Neon in the past. Cannot recommend them really.

      KDE Neon maybe as they ship the modernized desktop, but people had tons of issues on the Plasma 6 upgrade, while on Fedora Kinoite literally nothing happened.
