Hi,
You may try out the old kde4 on Fedora 22 and 23 
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/peem/kde4-fedora/builds/

I use my own repo : https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/sergiomb/vb
oxfor23/builds/ , it very similar of peem repo but is not updated and  
need --exclude=oxygen-icon-theme) 

In F24 you may try hawaii-desktop 
dnf install @hawaii-desktop
