definition:
KDE Plasma 5 is the fifth and current generation of the graphical
workspaces environment created by KDE primarily for Linux systems. KDE
Plasma 5 is the successor of KDE Plasma 4 and was first released on 15
July 2014. It includes a new default theme, known as "Breeze", as well
as increased convergence across different devices. The graphical
interface was fully migrated to QML, which uses OpenGL for hardware
acceleration, which resulted in better performance and reduced power
consumption.
Available on openSUSE in three (3) forms
KDE Plasma (uses X Windows System)
KDE Plasma (Wayland) Uses openSUSE with 'part' Wayland in place of X
KDE Plasma (Full Wayland) Uses Wayland and not X Windows system
Its KDE's Default Desktop Environment. Very customisable.
Some like to organise their DE to very specific things.
It can be a blank DE (No icons/widgets) or many desktops with different
set of widgets and tool bars on each one.
I find it Ok for my purposes, but have laptop set up to use XFCE or KDE
