So far so good. KDE does have a few quirks and is laid out very
differently. As for hardware problems, what I've seen so far supports
the idea I screwed things up previously. Programs that constantly
complained of missing this or that run smoothly, I no longer get
annoying intermittent power off when docking while suspended, computer
also now stays suspended when handled. So I feel pretty confident
hardware is ok.
