It's been a few years for me on KDE, so this is good news to know.
The simplicity of lxde has been very nice and the resource demand
is so low it's just wonderful. I'm going to set up a new workstation
based on lxqt(5), and gcc-5.3.

Ah! very nice. I did not know that slot 5 is where all the kde (qt5)
compatible packages are group. Very cool usage of the slot, methinks.
Nice option for eix on the /category/ and slot number.
