Therotically yes but KDE is not among supported DEs in Linux Mint. KDE might be buggy if it works or trying to install KDE might break the installation. But provided you have a good backup I don’t think it is a bad idea to try out.

**AFTER CREATING A BACKUP** I installed the kde-full package on my Linux Mint installation and I have good news for you: There is no wayland session. And X11 session was buggy. Installing Plasma on Linux Mint looks like a dead end. Look for another distro that will provide you up-to-date Plasma.

What's your display driver, btw? If the session manager doesn't even give the wayland option it might be nvidia — which *still* needs tinkering to work on wayland, even on GNOME. (Sway launches with funny warnings [things to the tune of 'You're using nvidia do you REALLY want to do this? You probably shouldn't']; but crashes soon after. Wayfire [really interesting window manager] doesn't launch at all.)

Also take a look at this: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Showstoppers
KDE has been making good progress on wayland, but it really isn't there yet for daily use.

-- KDE needs a bit more work; and IIRC Qt also needs a patch.

Guess I have my answer, thanks 👍
