Finally I had enough free time to get Kde Plasma on my Arch Linux workstation.
Installation was pretty easy but understanding how things work now was not because there are some differences with Kde4.
In fact Plasma 5 and Kde Frameworks 5 are both based on Qt5 while, at the moment, most of Kde Applications are Qt4 based so that may bring to some graphical inconsistencies.
However I will talk on how to install Plasma on Arch Linux on a next post. Here are some screeshots of my Arch Linux workstation.
