Ahhhhh, you might want to hold off on KDE for a while longer. Many |
| 26 |
things in KDE are in transition at the moment with upstream now moving |
| 27 |
to Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5, with most apps still stuck on 4 |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Okular is one of those very much still at 4 so if that's the only KDE |
| 30 |
app you'll use, it might be a smooth install. For now. |
