Plasma 5 Desktop Use and Configuration Vision

The Plasma 5 desktop provides an easy-to-use work space that effortlessly supports the familiar workflows of most users while providing the most flexible desktop environment available. Plasma 5's flexibility enables unparalleled customization of the user's work space to reflect their personal taste as well as enable powerful custom workflows for more technical users.

Plasma 5's flexibility does not come at the cost of ease-of-use. So instead of overwhelming the user with choices, Plasma 5 keeps the user focused by offering customization options when most relevant and useful.
