%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Introduction to KDE Plasma 5 KDE Plasma 5 is a desktop environment built using KDE Frameworks 5 and QML which runs on top of a fully hardware accelerated graphics stack using Qt5, QtQuick 2 and an OpenGL(-ES) scenegraph. For more information on KDE Plasma 5, see the original announcement at Build Order KDE Plasma 5 packages are listed in the recommended and tested build order based on dependencies. No additional configuration is needed before building the KDE Plasma 5 because it uses the same configuration that KDE Frameworks 5 use.
