Linux mint has no GNOME or KDE variant, so while they fix many Ubuntu issues, they are still on XOrg.

So? There's nothing preventing someone from installing either, and they're adding Wayland support to Cinnamon.

True one can install it on Mint. But at that level, just

  • install Kubuntu
  • add timeshift
  • run unsnap (removes snap, installs flatpak and flathub, installs apps as flatpaks)
  • add the new official deb repo for Firefox
  • remove a possibly installed Firefox Flatpak (has missing sandboxing) and install with apt

  • install Kubuntu

Or even better, install KDE Neon. Same as Kubuntu, but with less bloat and the latest KDE Plasma.

Haha no, not even KDE devs use it.

I am on Fedora Kinoite and happy. But this was about Ubuntu, and Fedora simply serves a different use case. Kubuntu and KDE Neon are both Ubuntu LTS.
