KDE 4 was the biggest disappointment I had in the Linux world. It became usable to me a few years later.
KDE 5 is fine, doing a few changes like disabling plasma volume and starting KMix at startup instead. Still have to use pavucontrol occasionally, though.
Yesterday I discovered you can switch the menu style (right click -> alternatives) to a more classic type (like KDE 3, plus favorites), or to a full screen win8 type (for tablets).
- Sylos 9y agoYou can also download Simple Menu [1] and Tiled Menu [2] with a right-click on the panel, then Add Widgets -> Get New Widgets. I think, they'll be available in that Alternatives-menu then. If not, you can add them through Add Widgets. Plasma treats everything as either a widget(/"Plasmoid") or as a panel. So, you also have to have your widgets unlocked for all of this to work (including the Alternatives-menu).
