[gentoo-user] KDE and the new plasma 5 thing

[Dale <rdalek1967@gmail.com>]

Howdy,

Well, I went and did it.  On one hand, it's sort of nice.  Seems to be
faster in a way.  On the other hand, I want to wring its neck. I used to
have 10 virtual desktop thingys.  I was organized like a OCD King here. 
Well, that seems to have left the building.  Google informed me that
"activities" is the new thing.  No more virtual desktops.  All righty
then.  Then I keep getting a pop up that plasma is dying and needs to
restart.  It happens quite a bit.  I think I need a fly swatter.  ROFL 
It seems to do that when I try to use that panel thingy at the bottom. 
Also, I had a saved session that when I logged in, everything went where
it was supposed to be.  After I logged in, I was ready to get to it. 
Well, it must have found a open window because it is gone too.  Did Bill
Gates open that window???  o_O  It seems to use a LOT of memory too.  It
shows I'm using 11GBs out of the 16GBs I have.  O_O 

So!!  Is there a really well written howto for this thing or something
that one can read and sort of figure out where North is again?  Right
now, it's sort of making me dizzy.  I need something quick but at the
same time, gets me off to a start.  Linkys would be wonderful.  I found
this so far.

The biggest things.  Can I have a saved session again?  Or have it save
my activities or something that when I login, it starts most everything
itself without me digging around and doing it manually?  That would help. 

I hope I still have some hair left after this.  :/
