Try Plasma 5 without disturbing the current set-up

Thu Dec 11, 2014 1:24 pm
Running Fedora 21 KDE spin. plasma-desktop --version produces:
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.3
Plasma Desktop Shell: 4.11.14

Is it possible to try Plasma 5? Can it work on Qt 4.8.6/ KDE Development Platform 4.14.3?

I will need a solution that is easy and reversible.

Also, why so many different version numbers? So confusing!!

--
Manjaro KDE. Kernel 4.19.244-1-MANJARO. 64-bit. Plasma 5.24.5. KDE Frameworks 5.94.0. Qt 5.15.4. 8GB RAM and more than 100GB free on the hard disk.

normally you can't install both 4 & 5, I don't know 'bout Fedora (you could post there) but you can in openSUSE just peruse this thread https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/499607-KDE5

another option is to use VirtualBox and install a distro with only KDE5

OpenSuse Leap 42.1 x64, Plasma 5.x
