I built a separate KDE-5 system in some spare disk space to see what it was |
11 |
like. I thought it was the ugliest desktop I'd ever seen, but after a good |
12 |
deal of poking around and waiting for enough development progress to have been |
13 |
made I did eventually find a group of settings that suited me. |

At that point, about a week ago, I converted my KDE-4 main system to KDE-5 and |
16 |
I'm now using it happily. This is a desktop box running BOINC projects 24/7 so |
17 |
it has no need of hibernation etc. but I do use KMail, which I've always |
18 |
liked. I also don't use dolphin much, nor konqueror at all, so I haven't |
19 |
stumbled over the problems some others are reporting. |

So I'm fairly happy with it for now. |
