it runs KDE 5 perfectly fine! Nice.
It's been said that KDE Plasma has shaken its reputation as being a resource hog. I've had no problem with it, and your post seems to confirm what's said.
I've also heard that the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment isn't as piggy as the KDE from the 00's and 10's. Every once in a while I think of trying it again. But then I remember that using a single KDE application like K3B (a truly great DVD recorder) pulls in dozens of KDE libraries, some of which bog down the computer when running. So even though I'd love to have K3B again and use Dolphin instead of PCManFM, I just can't pull the trigger. SteveT Steve Litt http://444domains.com
