So, I decided to downgrade again and stay with KDE 4 as long as possible and I was not the only one: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1042980-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html | So, I decided to downgrade again and stay with KDE 4 as long as possible and I was not the only one: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1042980-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html | ||

But I still had lock screen and Plasma crashes and it turns out, this is because of my setup with 2 local sessions: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377031 | But I still had lock screen and Plasma crashes and it turns out, this is because of my setup with 2 local sessions: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377031 | ||
Besides that, the new recommended display managers sddm and lightdm (kdm is not compatible with KDE 5) make it not comfortable to have 2 local sessions (lightdm lost that ability a while ago). Also, there is still no solution for VNC. | |||
Then I decided to look for alternatives to KDE. Since I do not want systemd, I could not use (unpatched) Gnome 3. Also, some desktops need Pulse Audio, which I also don't like. | |||
A while ago, I installed for fun Linux (Ubuntu) on my Chromebook via Crouton. From that, I already had some contact with Xfce and finally decided to try that as my new desktop. | |||
Installation was easy (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xfce/Guide) and at first, I stayed with lightdm because kdm was not emerging anymore (see workaround below). | |||
Now I have less fancy stuff, but I have once again a desktop running stable and as I want to. | |||
