Emilio Recio composed: ... I have had to switch from Fedora to OpenSUSE because plasma keeps crashing ... 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.
Rawhide as of yesterday has kernel 4.4.0 and plasma 5.5.3 Fedora 23 as of yesterday has kernel 4.3.3 and plasma 5.5.3 Fedora 23 was released in November with kernel 4.2.3 and plasma 5.4.2 Fedora 22 as of today has kernel 4.2.8 and plasma 5.5.1 Fedora 22 was released in May with kernel 4.0.4 and plasma 5.3.0 Fedora has earned its categorization as bleeding edge for good reason. Its users are subjected to significant and frequent version upgrades. Latest amounts to a rolling release, with latest-1 not far behind, with latest-2 dropped from support only a month after release of latest.
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.
In Fedora, approximately every 6 months a new version is released. Issues are constantly coming up. If you wish to know about scary stories in Fedora, you need simply peruse its mailing list archives. Its bug tracker provides additional proof. I just searched there for any of the words "crash segfault segment" for open kf5-plasma, plasma-breeze, plasma-desktop, plasma-nm, plasma-oxygen, plasma-systemsettings, plasma-workspace F23 bugs. 65 were returned. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
