I've installed OpenSuse Tumbleweed in a VM and played a bit with KDE5. Despite the fact, that the graphics of a KVM VM isn't really fast enough for the fancy effects of KDE5, I'm really impressed. Dolphin seems to be really usable and the many configuration options are somewhat overwhelming after so many years of using only gtk environments. :-) The main thing that makes me hesitating is that the whole KDE5 stuff is marked ~amd64. I'm running a mostly stable system and I don't wanna keywording too much packages. What I also don't want is too much crap that I don't need, e.g. a networkmanger. Although I set USE="-networkmanager" portage wants to install it when I type "emerge -pv plasma-meta". I think, I should read some information before I try to install KDE5. A (maybe silly) question: Is it possible to install KDE5 without systemd? I'm still using openrc and I don't wanna change this atm. -- Regards wabe
