only kdevelop in a virtual machine
Many of us know this: You are on KDE version "from yesterday" and suddenly, everything breaks. Maybe someone broke the kompile or it is just a bunch of bad code that went in before your checkout and prevents the window manager from starting.
You learn from this mistake, you no longer install to /usr, but you create a dedicated user for your KDE programming fun. Soon, the next painpoints arise:
- you cannot test the display manager
- you cannot test the latest system-wide dbus stuff
- the complexity is just annoying
