I've only installed plasma-desktop, systemsettings5 and dolphin. 
After some hours of playing around, I decided to stay with XFCE,
but to use dolphin as filemanager.

XFCE is much faster and more stable then plasma. With plasma the 
mousepointer is buggy. It changed the cursor theme sometimes to a 
tiny black pointer when moved over certain areas of the desktop.
There were also bugs when I changed the plasma theme. When I've 
chosen breeze-dark, the colors became light and when I've chosen 
breeze, the colors became dark. After some fiddling I've got what 
I wanted, but after a few minutes the panel and the window 
decorations are disappeared and I had to restart the session.

Maybe in some months I will try it again. But for the moment I 
think it's better to use my old environment. The breeze-dark
theme however is something that I really like and so I decided to
use it (slightly modified) for my gtk2 and gtk3 apps and of course 
also for dolphin.
