Usually, I install CentOS 7 with KDE on all desktop computers, mine and those of my clients. This is my "standard" desktop installation. https://blog.microlinux.fr/poste-de-travail-centos-7/ On more recent hardware, I usually try to run a kernel from ELRepo, either kernel-lt or kernel-ml. One the repo is configured: # yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-{lt,ml} I everything else fails (which happened recently on some weird el cheapo laptop from a friend), I'll install KDE neon, which is a healthy mix of bleeding edge and stable. This is a "least evil" solution, but it actually works nicely. https://blog.microlinux.fr/neon-asus/ Cheers, Niki -- Microlinux - Solutions informatiques durables 7, place de l'église - 30730 Montpezat Web : http://www.microlinux.fr Mail : info at microlinux.fr Tél. : 04 66 63 10 32
