I'm not yet happy, but if it is the way forward, I have to bite the bullet now, it seems. I do think Plasma 5 could have spend some more time in experimental. But I can't really complain, I asked for "unstable" and that's what I got. Anyway, some features appear to have been lost in the upgrade. Here's what I'm missing so far: * ksysguard (panel) widgets. I thought these little graphs were really useful. In my case, I had them for overall CPU utilization, network I/O, and temperature. * I've tried (multiple times) to make Ctrl-Esc open KSysGuard, by assigning it as a Custom Shortcut for KMenuEdit. But when I press the shortcut, all I get is "No service configured". * Skype and others don't show up in the system tray any more. Apparently, I need to install sni-qt which isn't packaged, yet. See https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=124670 * Folder View for the desktop doesn't seem to work. Originally, I was able to choose "Folder View" somewhere in Desktop Settings and indeed the contents of ~/Desktop were shown on the desktop. After another update, the setting disappeared and Layout is fixed at "Desktop". * Plasma Search, the successor to KRunner, doesn't remember the history. (Really? :-O) * The Veromix plasmoid doesn't work anymore and there doesn't seem to be a suitable replacement to control PulseAudio from a panel. The Debian/KDE packagers are doing a time-consuming and largely unappreciated job, I know that. And I don't think the packaging is at fault for any of my more or less little complaints. Rather, it looks to me like the upstream KDE developers are giving their user base a second helping of the KDE 4 transition of a few years back. I'm not entirely happy about that.
