From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Then WTF are you talking about here? How can your experience in DIY distro be applicable in any way to Mint?
Oops, wrong comment, the Mint guy not the Debian guy. I would expect some theming issues. In general Mint->remove cinnamom->add plasma-desktop may be fine
Unless you're running from a thumb drive, no need to remove anything. That's really the beauty of it.
In my experience mixing themes is a bad idea. So yeah, remove stuff.
Themes? They're entirely different DEs. Again, your experience with DIY Linux is worth nothing. Stop spreading misinformation to newcomers.
I have experience with GNOME and KDE and their themes overlapped a lot. If you say this is not the case with Cinnamon, that is cool!
