Usually, I install CentOS 7 with KDE on all desktop computers, mine and
those of my clients. This is my "standard" desktop installation.

On more recent hardware, I usually try to run a kernel from ELRepo,
either kernel-lt or kernel-ml. One the repo is configured:
# yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-{lt,ml}
I everything else fails (which happened recently on some weird el cheapo
laptop from a friend), I'll install KDE neon, which is a healthy mix of
bleeding edge and stable. This is a "least evil" solution, but it
actually works nicely.
