GG, are you running 32bit?
My report is only my subjective observation of speed for operations that I do everyday.
The shutdown/restart problem is almost certainly due to the specific shutdown commands for my laptop (Dell Latitude D820). Some distros recognize it, others do not.
The problem with Plasma crashing is still a mystery to me. I'm not finding this reported (at least not frequently) when I do a web search, but, as noted earlier, the use of 32bit systems is decreasing. Without a large number of complaints, there is little incentive for the the devs to address it. My wheel isn't squeaking enough to get their attention...
I wish I could attribute the Plasma crash to a hardware problem, but some KDE distros don't crash, so I'm still looking at a software glitch.
More testing will ensue...
Thanks for your input.
