I haven't looked into this yet, just thinking out loud - what issues might there be in sharing a homedir (via NFS) between multiple versions of e.g. KDE?
We have KDE3, 4 and -5 for instance.
Depends. If user X always logs in on machine Y, uses only one KDE#, none at all. If user X always logs in on the same KDE#, whatever machine, none at all. If user X can log in on whatever machine, whatever KDE#, multiple.
I'd avoid the latter situation at all times. Want KDE3? Then KDE3 it is, no login on non-KDE3 machines.
What if you took pains to separate the kde directories. Would the other directories give trouble? (.local, .cache).
The problem is that the configuration folders have changed: ~/.kde -> ~/.kde4 -> ~/.config, so an app running in KDE3 won't know what you wanted it to do differently in Plasma5. And even if you'd manage to get some situation where the various KDE instances would read the same f.e. ~/.kde-all config folder, you'd have to deal with the databases for f.e. kmail, korganizer, amarok All in all it would be a heck of a lot of manual effort to be spend on something that would imply having obsoletes installed. Mind, manual effort to achieve this. And no defaults to count on when things break. And they will. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
