After a rough test of what is available atm (5.2.1), I'd say the next release (5.3) will be better than KDE4 at its forced intro in openSUSE.
That's the thought of the team too, hence this mail (and the plan, which will follow soon... I'm just too tired for it today ;)
What I'd like to see is a minimalized bundle of libs for both, 4.x and 5.x as base, that are side-by-side install-able.
Some work has already been done where possible, see the workspace 4.x libs that have been split to ensure better coinstallability.
How may by the application unneeded "crud" will be installed, with "unselected" recommends, just the required minimum?
This will take time as more apps get ported to KF5 and thus only use the right dependencies (as they're far more fine-grained than in the kdelibs 4.x days).
use KDE4 apps parallel to having Plasma 5 as full DE.
This has always been possible and it's actually encouraged upstream.
PIM / Calendar, PIM / Addressbook, and lets NOT repeat the Kmail desaster (Kmail1 to Kmail2), ne?
Currently no PIM release is expected in KF5 form until 2016.
on the "openGL for all" stuff (I'm unsure on who dropped the ball here, Intel via kernel, Intel via Mesa, or KDE)
OpenGL is used by QtQuick first and foremost, so the requirement comes from Qt.
Dual-Core or better at 2.4 GHz or more, with 4 GB Ram or more. Made in 2012 or newer, for having fun. (Win 8 cert. HW)
Mostly it's OpenGL, as I said. It exposes a lot of driver bugs. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: 6E1A4E79
