I was also wondering the same, I'm running Kubuntu 14.10 on an oldish
Thinkpad X201 and things work pretty good. I tried booting a live
Kubuntu 15.04 which has KDE5 to see what it's like.

I dunno, it doesn't feel like much has changed. Different theme and I
like it. Maybe a little more polish. Some texts are a little large like
in the networking setup popup. On the other hand, Konsole defaults to a
pretty small font. But consistent UX is hardly a thing in Linux.

Well, something went wrong and now my live system (with persistence) is
pretty crashy. Just the kde parts so can't do much any more :( I guess I
have to wipe the persistent part or just go ahead and upgrade. Granted,
unetbootin which I used to create my USB stick from the ISO image didn't
claim to have support for Kubuntu 15.10...
