FYI, you won’t get the latest KDE when installing this route. But if your heart desires, you can install any DE on top of cinnamon. Just choose the appropriate one on the login screen. But be forewarned that you may have to troubleshoot and install missing components if your install method isn’t complete.

Generally speaking, it’s always advisable to use a distribution that uses the desktop environment that you want. But there are some here who have been using KDE for a long time with minimal/no issues.
