   	KDE's Plasma 5 was more compact. KDE's Plasma 6 is much larger.   
   	   
   	I don't use it for rounded corners, 3D effects or greater color gradations.   
   	The only reason that I use it is because KDE's Plasma 5 is no longer   
   updated.   
   	I am unhappy that KDE's task-games has not been updated.   
      
   	But I like to use the KDE product and have enough power to do so   
   	without noticable slow down. 20 years of KDE desktop environment for   
   me which amounts to 20 years of Linux for me and maybe 6 months of XP,   
   and 10 years approximately of AmigaOS 1.2-3.9.
