It seemed to me that it's daring to try this because it's a work in
progress, and with the overly, it seemed to be even worse.  So I went
with the "normal" kde when I found out that plasma it doesn't work.
That's already painful to install.  Install on a slow machine, and you
can't even try much simply because it takes too long.

Should I try to upgrade?  That might take another day, which I don't
have ...
