What exactly is the effect of a plasma desktop "failsafe" session?
What does it do to (prevent, remove from) Plasma etc??

Thanks,

Jeff

The KDE failsafe gets you into KDE with desktop effects disabled.

Just the "bells and whistles" on the desktop or other things too?

Thanks,

No expert just what I read and much like other distro fallbacks is Desktop effects.
As far as I know there is no loss of actual desktop features or functions.
