At least until next major incompatible changes in KDE... I'm wondering whether I should try to get one of the discontinued Lenovo P50 with 3840x2160 dots at 15" just to make someone's eyes bleed enough... Believe me, even with all available settings it is not usable with xfce; not everything in a window will be text and not every application is taking care of adapting to Xft.dpi.

At least until next major incompatible changes in KDE... The problem is that the old KDE 4 was mature enough to just leave it as it was packed by the Fedora 18, 20. But KDE 5 is heavily developed so not even bugfixes gonne be released to F23 - we currently using in dom0 So KDE 5 support would means to me: - keep an up to date Fedora release in dom0 - and/or backport KDE 5 packages to the actual dom0 release - whatever it is based on. -- Zrubi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

[qubes-users] Future plans for KDE on Qubes?
Hi! After a few months of severe suffering from xfce on a HiDPI display I gave in and installed @kde-desktop-qubes on my system – and I'm pretty sure I don't want to see xfce for the next few years. Title bars have a usable size (something that cannot be configured in xfce without building your own themes), icon aren't scaled randomly and fonts are finally looking as they should. And third-party software like Softmaker Office is finally working as expected. So: Will there be support for KDE beyond Qubes 3.2 or will I have to plan for carrying a third machine for my office work space?
