There are better alternatives to Windows. If F21/KDE4 or CentOS aren't good
enough, try Mageia 5/KDE4 recently released. OpenSUSE 13.2 has KDE4 too, and
might wind up with a longer support life than MGA5. Another option is
installing Trinity[1] in F22, which will allow access to the KDE5 things that
do work for you, like LXDE or other DEs, but with more familiarity.
