Just a moment I can suggest you the ISO of R6 with Plasma 5 (unofficial)

searching... found.., , I've copied a sentence of Pulfer from ROSA Forum:
Pulfer wrote:Only unofficial Plasma 5 ISOs until Fall 2016 (when we switch from rosa2014.1 to rosa2016.1). Until that KDE 4 will be the main ROSA's DE.

Unofficial Plasma 5 ISOs can be downloaded from:
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/platforms/rosa ... oducts/137

Plasma 5 is not complete yet (no RocketBar port etc).

You can install any official iso and update to R6 then you can install plasma 5. But you must do it without login in KDE4 session, cause kdm will be removed. On login screen ctrl+alt+f2 to log in /dev/tty2 and then:

Code: Select all

urpmi --auto-update
urpme task-kde4
urpmi task-plasma5
systemctl enable sddm.service
I use plasma 5.3.2, it can use regulary with no issues.
