Thanks for the suggestion. LxQT looks interesting. If I use it, do I
still have Kwin and can use the rest of KDE stuff ? Is it basically
just Plasma replacement ?

I will echo what Emilio stated.  LXQt is a terrific alternative for those who are having issues with Plasma5. Yes, you can use KWin... and in fact KWin will be the default for LXQt when Wayland replaces X.  You also should give some of the native LXQt apps a try.  Pcmanfm is really nice and lightweight.  If you need advanced clipboard functionality, check out copyq.  You will find the vast majority of kde apps work just fine.
