Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, KDE Plasma 5 Beta 3 has been recently released, coming with bug-fixes, improvements for Qt5, enhancements for the kdelibs modularisation and general improvements that enables the users to improve both their applications and the user experience.
The latest version available is KDE Plasma 5 Beta 3, which has been released at the beginning on June, 2014. While we know for sure that KDE 5 will be used by default on Fedora 21 KDE, it will most likely be used also on Kubuntu 14.10.
In this article I will show you how to install KDE Plasma 5 Beta 3 on Kubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
Note: KDE Plasma 5 cannot coexist with KDE 4, already installed on your system so it will replace it. It is advised to install KDE Plasma 5 on a virtual system, because most likely your system will get broken.
To install KDE Plasma 5 Beta 3 on your Kubuntu 14.04 system, you have to add the Kubuntu Next PPA to your system, update the local repository index and perform a normal system upgrade:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
