....my worry is on crashes, is it possible to install kde4 and plasma 5 in the same machine and choose one of them at login?? ....when I will upgrade from my opensuse 13.2 to the next opensuse 13.3 or 14, where my kde4 will go???
Some parts of KDE4 and Plasma5/Frameworks5 are coinstallable, however certain parts can not. Upstream a lot of efforts have been made to have parts of KDE4 co-exists along Plasma5/Frameworks5. This allows us to run KDE4 based applications on a Plasma5 Desktop. This means that if the decision is taken to switch the default from KDE4 to Plasma5, then parts of KDE4 will be removed that conflicts with Plasma5/ Frameworks. The same would happen to those applications that are already Frameworks based (e.g. Kate). The next openSUSE version after this switch will automatically upgrade users from KDE4 to a Plasma5/Frameworks based desktop. The reason why we are doing this evaluation is to find out what the experiences are of those users that are running Plasma5/Frameworks. Given that we already had 7 releases for the Framework libraries and that the third Plasma5 release is upcoming, I do not believe that crashes would be a concern. I have been running this setup since the beginning and Plasma5 has been a very smooth experience.
