We are most interested with feedback, in particular:
I've just updated my old box with TW by installing plasma5-session.
- Testing packaging
Lock screen can't be unlocked because kdecheckpass can't read the password database. That's a packaging bug according to upstream and has been known for almost a year.
- Checking for missing functionality
Where to start? There is apparently absolutely no migration of settings from KDE4. I'm not sure if it uses its own settings since I didn't try to go back to 4.12 yet.
- Overall experience [1] : What does fowrk for you? What doesn't?
Background can only be set to bitmap or solid color. Color gradients are not available anymore. Desktop Clock misses font settings and date formats. Tons of application icons are simply black squares in the application launcher (they render Ok in other applications, so it's probably down to some compositing bug).
- Missing functionality [2]: What are you missing from the 4.x workspace that you deem irrepleaceable?
No CPU/Temp/Network monitor, really? No visual feedback on when/where I can resize windows (might be a theme issue, but I'd consider it a bug).
- Upgrade experience [3]: Was the upgrade from the 4.x packages smooth? Did anything break? - Visual and hardware-related issues [4]: Is Plasma 5 running well with your hardware?
It's running, I can't really say how well (Athlon64 3200+ / RV350 AGP). It always seems to fall back to XRender backend no matter what else I set (it seems to accept the new setting but when you reopen the window it's back to XRender). After switching the mouse pointer to something more easily seen, I still have the old pointer on the desktop, the new pointer in KDE applications and yet another pointer in Gtk applications.
