I learned early on, don't do an upgrade (installing new packages over old
ones without doing a fresh install), most OS I have used never work
correctly after. KDE 4 had problems at first too, actually helped with some
of the bugs (report, worked with developers), so if 42.1 has some glitches
they will get squashed soon with community help.
