Ahh, I realize that everything will be lost. I meant more from a technical point of view, seeing entropy remove and replace what it should. For instance, it's my understanding that KDM isn't up to the task and SDDM is the preferred DM for Plasma 5. I'm also aware that some apps are still the KDE4 version in the plasma 5 environment. So I'm just curious as to what sort of bumps I might run into.
Don't you worry, I am assuredly prepared for the possibility of this going quite badly and I've a good idea of what to expect if it all goes well. I'll try and drop into IRC, as opposed to spamming this mailing list for things I come across, although I have bad luck catching anyone active when I do go. -stupot On Sat, Jul 11, 2015 at 9:53 AM, Joost Ruis <joost.r...@sabayon.org> wrote: > Don't see it as an "upgrade" it wasn't designed like that.
