can't find a standalone for mint. I'm running kde in mint unofficially so... the addons package for the main widgets isn't there and since that's a part of it it's hard to find thr standalone plasmoid.

Yeah, I've looked in my mint vm, can't find it. Oh so you added kde to mint? I hadn't actually thought of that.... Okay I'll have to try it in the next few days, and I'll report if I can get the widget working.
Also, while your at it, try a dual boot with Kubuntu. I did mint, but found it lacking. It's initially nice looking, but it just can't do what Kubuntu can in the end. Trust me, try it.

Ubuntu has some issues affecting their longevity there's too much philosophic and political bickering and drama for that distro to last much longer. The reason mint is phasing in debian edition. To last longer and not depend on ubuntu when they might shit a brick

What do you mean? What's been happening over in Canonical land?

...and here's my current desktop with Kubuntu 19.10, dual screen, second screen on the left with Conky:

Compensating for never being able to keep my actual desktop clear in meatspace.

Meh, doubt it. The linux kernel was supposed to "end" a few months back too when "SJWs" took over. Nothing (bad) happened.
 
Okay, had to mess with KDE quite a bit, but finally got a working install under Mint. Here's the weather widget under Mint!

I couldn't get that bc the package that it's part of is not available for some reason... got a link to the plasmoid??

No link, it was part of the kde-full package.. which is the same as installing kubuntu-desktop ect. You must not have installed the full thing somehow. Also when you first
add the weather widget, it just shows a white square, just click and hold to show the settings button, set it up and it will display normally. Also to get kde working right
I added the kubuntu backports ppa and updated, then from the kubuntu backports I installed kwin-x11, which fixed up some major graphics gliches.

It is disabled most time, but sometimes i launch it, helps thinking.
 
the older thinkpads don't really want to die at all, they just keep on going. Good to see them still being used, as many of them still are very capable.
This exemplar come to me directly from ISS. They using it as a mobile terminals for station maintenance, at least at ru/cn segment of ISS

What version of Mint are you running @remixedcat ? :) I think the last one I've installed was 19.1 when I was doing it for my Crunching machines... :)
 
I wasn't sure if they had released anything newer... Thanks :)
 
You're welcome.
 
It's amazing how most screenshots from Linux users feature horrible blurry fonts - both for GUI applications and terminals.

Here, take this.

Make sure you've opened it full screen without the browser resizing/maiming it.

Newest Kubuntu on the block, still alpha but works pretty much stable so far. Kubuntu 20.10 or Groovy Gorilla:

I really like KDE. KDE and Budgie are like my favorite.
