Desktop Environment Ranking Poll from Linus Journal

This IS NOT a poll post. The poll is from Linux Journal Readers' Choice Awards

Sadly, the article does not state the actual number of votes. It was also based on Twitter(r) users input...

Still, the question remains, why is Kubuntu being deprecated?

My error, it is Linux Mint which is deprecating their KDE distro.

Kubuntu is being deprecated?

My error, edited my OP to reflect this.

KDE is a fantastic environment but it’s also a different world, one which evolves away from us and away from everything we focus on. Their apps, their ecosystem and the QT toolkit which is central there have very little in common with what we’re working on.

I use Linux Mint XFCE and KDE (because Kubuntu no longer works on my 32 bit system), but I would return to Kubuntu in a heartbeat if I could.

Linux Mint has a problem of resources (not enough devs to work on a KDE distro). I still have Mint KDE on one of my systems and it works fine. But future releases won't support it. Reading their list of supported projects, I could voice some dissatisfaction with their having too many "irons in the fire" as-it-were. But it is their choice, not mine.

The more things change, the more they stay the same...

At least Linux will still exist.
