And I am running a pre-release, on all my systems too ;)
64 bit it is not an issue, anymore (there are even small distros that are not 
releasing 32 bit versions these days).

Are   you using Vivid 15.04, or are  you using 14.10 and the now deprecated 
plasma-next ppa's?Plamsa 5 in 14.10 is very broken in a number of places, and  
has not seen updates since some that broke many desktops were pulled. They 
don't have the people to work on this for both vivid and utopic.
The best plasma5 experience is in 15.04, imnsho, and that includes all 
distros. (I may be biased!)
