I just installed KDE using the Rawhide KDE Live iso 20200510.n.o. on a blank SSD as the only OS on my Intel i5-3470 machine.
I have used KDE before ( but way over a year ago ), but never in Fedora. I tried it in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Mageia 6 ( developmental version ), maybe an old Kubuntu in 2017, and in the Developer's Unstable Edition of Neon. Install was boring, but some may like that. My only complaint was that it appeared to hang up at 100% installation for what seemed like two minutes. It should instead say 99% or something. I now have three different SSD's with Rawhide ( Xfce, Workstation, and this KDE ). I just played a game of FreeCell with kpatience 20.04.0-1.fc33, which is the version of numerous k-applications, although it looks like some are still 19.12.3-1.fc33 Plasma is 5.18.5-1.fc33 The Qt stuff is 5.14.2-4.fc33 The login-manager is sddm 0.18.1-5.fc33 systemd 245.5-2.fc33 Only one package updated after the install. KDE Frameworks ( kf5 packages ) are mostly 5.70.0-1.fc33 kernel is 5.7.0-0.rc4.20200508git79dede78c057.1.fc33, which will likely change in a day or two to something like: 5.7.0-0.rc4.202005011gitxxxx##x###.1.fc33 I installed bashtop, and watched a YouTube video in Firefox 76.0.1. The resource usage was on par with Gnome. I did not see enough difference to want to switch to KDE just because it is or was allegedly lighter. I am not yet a fan of any desktop environment, and there are a bunch that I have never tried, or only briefly tinkered with almost 3 years ago. I installed krita and tried to make a sketch. Version was 4.2.9-2.fc33. It game an error message upon closing. David Locklear Novice Rawhide User 0.0.0.5
