I'm starting to wonder about Plasma 5. Haven't been able to update it
for over a month now (or so it seems) due to a few broken packages.
That's a long time to be broken. And we're at version 5.4.x with all
these problems and no screensaver or in my case no sound either? In my
case I also get a lot of random freeze ups with Plasma 5 where on the
same system no freeze ups on LXQt (VBox and partition). Also for such a
big change we need a good bit of time to test and solve bugs but for the
longest time we can't because it won't even update. I'm aware that some
people have been able to 'force' the update but that isn't good testing
for a what we hope to be a stable, quality release. I have all kinds of
trouble forcing the update. Something always breaks. I wish I could get
forcing the update figured out so I can see what version 5.4.1 is really
like but so far no success.
When trying to update our primary desktop always breaks something for
this long of a time frame it is, um, well, scary. Not confident in this
desktop at all.
I'm starting to think we should consider a release with KDE4 and give
more time for Plasma 5 to get to a working/stable state.
One thing that might help my impression would be exactly how does one
get the forced update to work? I know you lose Dolphin and Konqueror and
I guess get stuck with inferior PCMan file manager.
Any way I'm off to try one more time in vbox to force the damn update.
