with a huge number of applications written for it and a huge amount of users.

is a mature version that combines libraries and the desktop environment
into one set of packages and has numerous appplications that can be

5 or KF5, are separate from the desktop environment called KDE Plasma 5.
Both envionments can be installed, but Plasma is not yet considered
stable.</para>
