31 I've been using it on my machine for a few months now actually. In the
32 beginning there were tons of ups and downs as it got stabilized, but
33 it's been pretty smooth lately.
34
35 There are definitely some kinks that still need to be worked out, and
36 there are only a couple k-applications that have been updated to work
37 with the new frameworks (unless you're willing to go with the live ebuilds).
38
39 I'd wait till plasma 5.2 is released, or at least in beta. I've heard
40 that a lot of bugs will be ironed out then. Though if you're curious,
41 it's completely usable right now, nothing is currently on fire on my
42 computer!
