I should like to express a word of thanks to KaOS. We are often used to complaining or writing for some issues, there I shall like saying thank you.
Indeed, already for one year everything works correctly even if small bug of display come sometimes. If I need to say thanks, it's due to I recently realize that Kile (LaTeX editor) is in his 2.9 version while no other distro release it, even the official Kile's site don't speak about it. I'm impressed, and as we know that Demm or other KaOS member have received lot of "bashing mail" I feel the need to express my gratitude.

Best regards,

Reason why you see way more kf5 versions of applications than any other distro is because in 2014 it was clear here, mixing of KDE with kf5 was not a desirable way to go, so it has always been pure KDE 4, then after the full kf5 switch, pure kf5/plasma 5.
That meant that any app could only stay by using early kf5 ports. Kile is one that has been kf5 based here since 2014.

Ok demm,

Kile was a "revelation", I only want to say thank you. 🙂
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
