Hi all, I've just installed CRUX-3.4 in a PC of a friend of mine. I had at all no problem just to X install, but now my friend would like to install plasma 5. What to choose: the kde5 or the KF5 way? I've been told that at the moment it seems there are problems with KF5 (many source links in the Package files are not reachable, and to find an alternative is very time consuming and not easy). Someone would kindly give me a suggestion? Thanks.

Which port colection are you having issues with? This[1] looks to be relatively up to date, but it is unofficial, and if anything breaks, you should reach out to the maintainer. Good luck. [1]https://crux.ninja/portdb/collection/kde5/ Pedja

Thanks. I just now finished to install - as suggested by Brian Madonna - using the KF5 port collection. Only few problems, and all easily resolved: I'll come back as soon as possible to describe them (so to help who is intentioned to install this collection).
