I've installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed in a VM and played a bit with |
| 12 |
KDE5. Despite the fact, that the graphics of a KVM VM isn't really |
| 13 |
fast enough for the fancy effects of KDE5, I'm really impressed. |
| 14 |
Dolphin seems to be really usable and the many configuration options |
| 15 |
are somewhat overwhelming after so many years of using only gtk |
| 16 |
environments. :-) |

The main thing that makes me hesitating is that the whole KDE5 stuff |
| 19 |
is marked ~amd64. I'm running a mostly stable system and I don't |
| 20 |
wanna keywording too much packages. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
What I also don't want is too much crap that I don't need, e.g. a |
| 23 |
networkmanger. Although I set USE="-networkmanager" portage wants to |
| 24 |
install it when I type "emerge -pv plasma-meta". |

I think, I should read some information before I try to install KDE5. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
A (maybe silly) question: Is it possible to install KDE5 without |
| 29 |
systemd? I'm still using openrc and I don't wanna change this atm. |
