Sponsor 2 Segment

Kubuntu Developer Feedback

  • Plasma 5.7 is unlikely to hit Xenial Backports in the short term, as it is still dependent on QT 5.6.1 for which there is currently no build for Xenial.
    There is an experimental build the Acheronuk has been working on, but there are still stability issues.
