Yeh....  I'm fighting my way through all of the glitter and crap....   
Have been able to get virtual desktops back and trying to learn how to 
switch between them....   and all the rest of the "learning curve"  with 
this stuff.   As one person said in a comment:  "It's ok but still not 
as good as Windows 10"...   which means it's not good at all.

Now, if I can just get some developer to come to my house and convince 
my wife that she should relearn everything she knows about KDE (not 
much) and drag her kicking and screaming into Plasma...  all will be 
fine..   :-)
