This works for me. I don't use the KDE overlay, just what's in the
regular tree. Apps appear and upgrade to KDE5 as the devs migrate them.
I found that the overlay left me with quite a few apps that don't work
with Qt5 so I'd have to jump through hoops to get the Qt4 version from
the tree to install. With the tree it's a case of what works with KDE5
is installed, everything else remains KDE4
Maybe I'll have another shot at it without the overlay then. I want to
change from nouveau to nVidia anyway, to get cuda for boinc, and doing that
on my main system left me with just a black screen.
In that case there's something you need to be aware of:
You may well find that some KDE4 apps using Qt5 and new plasma look
decidedly odd, as if they are using a toolkit they were not designed to
use. Imagine 2 GTK apps on the screen, one using that horrible square
blocky GTK+2 look you get without a proper theme, the other using nice
new flashy GTK+3 goodness. Looks pretty gross and can throw you off.
Thankfully the KDE5 apps I use all work nicely now, I reckon most of
them grossness has passed.
