How long is this version supported? I really don't want to go to Leap just yet due to 1) my experiences with plasma5/kf5 crashing and 2) all the other scary stories I hear around the new KDE and 3) system tray missing.

How long is this version supported? I really don't want to go to Leap just yet due to 1) my experiences with plasma5/kf5 crashing and 2) all the other scary stories I hear around the new KDE and 3) system tray missing.
a) what version of kde with plasma 5 did you use. To get an idea about plasma 5 you can use a virtualized leap. The integration for 13.2 was far from perfect and the official version was not plasma 5 but that was more a technology preview. b) what are "all the other scary stories". This is a quite astonishing affirmation. In the first 6 month of any distribution I know, a lot of issues come up. Always. This is due to very personal usage patterns. You may or may not be hit by one of this bugs. This is what release notes are for. They can and should be read BEFORE ANY installation. 90% of the time it iwll not be pertinent to your usage case. So what you write there is really from my point of view a gratuitous FUD. c) system tray is not missing. There are several workaround and patches. I did not find any "system tray missing" here on my notebook. With very few exceptions it works even now better with leap then with 13.2. You may have several issues when doing a new install of 13.2. So if you are installing for the first time: use leap, it is, in my experience right now, absolutely reliable even for mission critical stuff. This is particularly true for first time install because the brand new installation do not have ANY migration issues, yeeeehaaa! So all your scares are gone to a 50% at once. A lot of crashes can come from old system files hanging around. To get an idea when using plasma 5 try to use a brand new user to see if those crashes are migration related. Video drivers: ATI opensource and closed source drivers are good Nvidia: in my experience the noveau are problematic since 4,1 but that should not hit you with leap. Proprietary ones are good. Intel: there are some issues with dolphin crashing. Particularly if using the i915 chipset, like my X201. Still working with leap is enjoyable currently. Yes I did report quite some bugs but nearly all if not all are annoyances. Non of them AFAIR are showstoppers. There are a lot o false stories about leap that I would like to dismantle here and now. Notably: IT IS NOT TRUE that using Leap - you are loosing your hair (not even puberty hair, not true really). - you are getting peritonitis or emphysema (I swear, that is dead wrong). - it does allow you to see the future nor do you see ghosts. (Not true, no "ring" is seen either and the telephone does not ring after seeing the desktop). If you tell us your hardware setting an your exact issue you will find a solution. and a lot of things are there (especially Libreoffice) that work better in leap than in 13.2 --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.
