IF you had the trust that your beloved Plasma5 is not broken, probably you do not felt the need to defend it and blame my hardware.
However, I'd just stated that today the Slackware-current obviously ships KDE4, then if Patrick Volkerding will do suddenly the release of Slackware 15 as people demands (let's say in the next weeks), most likely that's what we will get, excluding some last minute tuning and fixes. You know the saying - be careful what you wish.

And as I see you of caring about my shitty graphics
cards (they are several, BTW), I am glad to inform you that they run pretty well the KDE4, both in Slackware and FreeBSD.
Also they perform really fine within Windows 7, 8, 8,1 and 10, as bloated as these operating systems are.
And as shitty as my graphics
cards are, they run fine even Plasma5 - since
5.13.1, and now with the fresh Eric's
5.13.2 I seen no graphics issues since first minute after upgrading.
Not that Plasma5 is not still buggy and/or it learned to read the configuration files written by itself, but at least it is usable from the graphics point of view.

And for those who proudly gives example how fine works Plasma5 on a Intel platform:
we know that, and myself I even had the privilege to see that for real, installing it in a mini-PC which is roughly similar with a laptop with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 and Intel(R) GM45 on-board graphics.
And because I consider those mini-PC of mine as being some really shitty hardware (to be honest, one of those mini-PC I use as a glorified router and the other one is mostly used as a media-player and occasionally for some web-browsing), I expect the Plasma5 to work on any other shitty hardware, no matter the platform.
Of course, unless the KDE developers are hardcore biased toward the Intel, and they try their best to sabotage the NVidia and AMD/ATi hardware usage, out of prejudice (or maybe tips).
