I can see this problems only in mint so i can`t say which problem is it:kde-unsupporting mint or mint-unsupporting kde.

For example,power/session buttons don`t work from menu

You can try to make a new user to log in KDE to see if is a problem with your current user.

Unless you’re talking about something different called Mint, Linux Mint doesn’t support Plasma.

It’s in Mint’s repositories, but those are the Kubuntu packages, which the Mint people didn’t touch.

If you want to use Plasma, you’d be better off picking another distribution.

mint doesn’t support KDE so they won’t likely be any help

and the plasma version you have is likely plasma 5 so this forum won’t likely be any help, nor will reporting it to bugs.kde.org since they are now only supporting plasma 6.

if you want a functional KDE experience on a debian based distro, i would recommend you switch to kubuntu LTS where at least they put the effort into making sure plasma works on the distro.

Certainly, Latte-dock has been dead for quite a long time already.

Also, Linux Mint doesn’t support KDE Plasma desktop - you should think to have clean installations with the intended desktop, otherwise you run in to very deeply entrenched issues…

Not only the installed software you see, but the services in the background - multiple default applications set and all kinds of other stuff.

Even with a clean, native KDE Plasma installation, latte-dock is dead.

Or you use SolydXK in the K variant, meaning the KDE desktop.

SolydXK is Mint with either XFCE or KDE where Mint is focusing on Cinnamon and Mate if I am correct.

I have used the KDE variant for a couple of years and never had problems with it, it is, as the name says, rock Solyd.
