Mostly a great experience so far.

I have a question about firewalld.  I did not have it installed before.  It 
seems it got pulled in with the plasma upgrade, is that possible?  Running  
"aptitude why firewalld" says:

i   kwin-common     Recommends plasma-desktop (>= 4:6.2.0~)
i A plasma-desktop  Recommends plasma-firewall (>= 6.2.0~) 
i A plasma-firewall Recommends firewalld | ufw 

The default configuration seems to only let through dhcpv6-client and ssh?  
Connecting to IMAP from my phone suddenly started failing and it was a long 
troubleshooting session to figure out why.  Here's how I got it working again:

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-service=imaps --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
