KaOS as of this week I believe

Frameworks, Plasma and Applications now have separate release schedules with Applications 15.04 due in April but there will be apps that lag

as I don't use Plasma 5 (have it to test a bit) what apps do you find don't fit in ?


OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x

Arch Linux for example, has preliminary support for Plasma 5, but as of now there are still some issues. If you want, you can read the entry in their wiki about it, for more information.

In their forum, there is also a very active topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184439&p=24

Plasma 5.2 is out and it is considered a stable version. Of course there are still things to iron out, and most plasmoids and some programs are not ported yet.

AFAIK no distro is using it by default yet. You can easily install it in Arch, Kubuntu etc. I've tried both those (I'm a long standing Arch user) and for now the Kubuntu implementation seems more complete. Still, for a 100% rock solid system I'd stay with KDE4 for a while longer and wait for 5.3 or 5.4, even with 5.2 there are still things to fix. However, its already usable right now if you accept a couple of glitches. I find it OK on my secondary system, on my primary I'll stick with KDE4 for a while longer.

By the way, it's awesome
