17 You've always been able to pick and choose individual KDE applications
18 without installing all of KDE, although in KDE 4 we did recommend also
19 installing one of the smaller meta packages (eg.
20 kde-apps/kdebase-runtime-meta) to ensure everything worked correctly.

22 You can identify KF5/Qt5-based applications based on their slot.
23 Something like eix kde-apps/ --slot 5 should give the full list of
24 what's available so far.
