DO NOT USE THE "Air" design / Desktop Theme: It will kill your install.
I posted this in 2017 and it still kills every KDE both in 2018 NRR as well as 2018 KaOS distro.
SOMEONE UPSTREAM must fix this "stuff" ideally by deleting the "Air" design of KDE.
here is how to reproduce:
in a pristine NRR-2018 installation "system settings" (from main menu), choose Air design and
force font dpi downto 72dpi.
Your desktop will freeze and on reboot freeze again.
You must delete in ~ and delete . in ~ as root (Ctrl-Alt-F3) too, to get going again.
Actually "Air" itself works, but upon "screen notification" the TOTAL FREEZE will kill your install reproducibly. The notification frame appears, but not content. Because of freeze, the notification screenlet cannot finish its display. Then neither mouse nor keyboard will do anything (except CTRL-ALT-F3 console switching).
Can anybody reproduce this? takes only 1 minute to find out. Pretty nasty
