Hi Simon. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Regarding Plasma/KDE in Devuan, you may also consider subscribing to debian-kde mailing list, at least for reading it. Many of the things you write here have been discussed there already months, if not more than a years ago. [changed wordwrap to separate the warnings] > KDE 5 is "fine".

This laptop is still on Debian, so I am very keen to hear how Plasma 5 works for you on Devuan, as I consider to switch it as I did with my server virtual machines. The machine is critical for my work, so it has to work reliable. That said I am even on Debian Unstable and I consider to switch to Devuan Ceres.
