Hello,
okay, KDEPIM is not ready for plasma5 yet, but I've to admit, that I've ignored all KDEPIM stuff since some tries to use it with KDE4. KDE3 kmail was a fast Mail Client but under KDE4 my experiences with kmail were not good. Waiting for get mail, waiting, waiting .... in the same time - using
mail/claws-mail - I've read those mails (using fast internet connection vdsl-50 of german t-online). Sometimes it was not possible to open kmail, without removing a service instance with akonadi and so on ...
Maybe I'll give KDEPIM another try, when it is ready to use with plasma5
Apart from KDEPIM stuff - the standard FreeBSD systems (of my wife and me) based on a solid KDE4 Destktop Environement, enriched with firefox, claws-mail. libreoffice, audacity, easytag ...
My local poudriere repos (one build with branch/2017Q1+plasma5 ports from area51, one build with head+plasma5 ports from area) contains complete plasma5 stuff, which depends on meta package
x11/kde5 and further applications we use on our desktop systems. I've installed from 2017Q1 based local repo a FreeBSD on a separate zfs dataset on my notebook and on my desktop computer for testing it, a further installation with head based repo follows soon.
My first impressions are good - compared to plasma5 on arch based Antergos the performance could be somewhat better, but I guess this will be better with updating drm + drivers to linux 4.6. Okay, both machines have integrated Intel graphic chips, with Nvidia card the performance might be better.
Kind regards,
Holger
