It seemed to me that it's daring to try this because it's a work in progress, and with the overly, it seemed to be even worse. So I went with the "normal" kde when I found out that plasma it doesn't work. That's already painful to install. Install on a slow machine, and you can't even try much simply because it takes too long. Should I try to upgrade? That might take another day, which I don't have ...
