Just fun and games in Tumbleweed, I’d suggest doing the upgrade in cli or undoing all customisations as halfway through I got booted out of session to only be able to log into a half 5 half 6 KDE exspirence thank god for runner!

    Not invalidating your experience. Just wanted to mention to any fellow intrepid travellers that my experience and of a couple other people I know, has been rock solid on Plasma 6

      Same here, although mine was with a fresh install. Only hiccup I had was from an outdated archinstall script with incorrect dependencies. Since the system has been up and running I’ve seen zero issues with plasma 6 itself.

      Went from mint with cinnamon and x to arch with kde and wayland, and somehow it’s been a smoother experience…

      Yeah same. I was honestly surprised because I’m not the most advanced user of Linux but literally a few commands later, and boom. I don’t believe I even needed to reboot. Just logged out and back in, selecting plasma wayland from gdm.

      Autologin seems much smoother, now I’m just waiting for krdp or something similar, unless there’s already another way to remotely login to desktop regardless of the remote client’s platform. I’m open to recommendations.

          Ah I’ve used that too for my Windows machine though it didn’t occurred to me to try it for Linux. I also only just recently learned of Sunlight and was only using Moonlight with Nvidia’s gamestream.

          I’ll have to give that a try. Thanks!

      Same here. Well, actually I moved away from Fedora to Endeavour and it happened to coincide with KDE6. First time on KDE I a long time, and I really like it now.

    I’ve found KDE 6 not too buggy after doing a fresh system install.

    I think half the bugs myself and others experience with KDE 6 might be caused by upgrading 5.27 to 6.

    Not using Plasma 6, but just a short while ago I had a plasma crash while shutting down, which prevented my laptop from shutting down. Pretty ironic. Thankfully I know a logout keyboard shortcut so I could shut it down.

    Installed neon on an external drive. Liked it so much I cloned it to my internal drive. Spent 4 hours trying to diagnose why I was being dropped to a grub shell every time I tried to boot. Apparently the bootloader ID was fine being “neon” on the external drive but had to be “Ubuntu” on the internal drive or grub wouldn’t find it. Fucking infuriating, but I like plasma 6!

    One of us! I didn’t have terrible problems but I had the issue where the mouse cursor position was wrong in Firefox and other gtk apps, but they already fixed that in kwin 6.0.2.

    I like KDE, at some point a move to Hyprland full-time might be in order but I’ve really liked KDE since moving off of Windows on my last couple systems.

    I also got booted out of the session doing the upgrade mid-way. I then opened a different TTY and ran zypper dup again just to make sure everything is updated and after doing that and a reboot, everything seems to work okay

    Mine has been running fine since it hit the Arch repo, I just really want to be able to download and use SDDM themes from the KDE store again.

    I had almost no problems. Starting up plasma took longer than expected the first time, one widget was broken/out of date, and the bouncing activation animation on items on the taskbar isn’t working anymore (haven’t seen anyone else with this problem yet). Overall not too bad.

    After using kde for a long time, I switched to gnome last year after gnome 40(?). Has KDE changed drastically since last year?
