Can we now also focus on stabilizing everything? For the past 5-10 years, my personal KDE experience ws either features disappearing (i still mourn my Desktop cube) or just random shit.not working for years. I got to the point where a few months ago I seriously started to consider cinnamon, what are you doing to me?

I’m pretty sure that most people won’t be able to tell the difference between 5 and 6.
Seems like minor changes to me.
I once did enjoy KDE but always hated the font, icons and everything in the UI is lines. Makes it hard to comprehend things quickly.
In the end I realised the Gnome-based UI is far better for legibility and comprehension. I’m on Linux Mint Debian Edition with Cinnamon and it’s great.
I’m very excited for what’s to come. Good to know things are going well with the testing and bugs don’t seem too bad.
As features I’d like to see, I guess we still can’t configure different language layouts for different connected keyboards at the same time? I really would like to be able to have my usb connected one with english and the native laptop keyboard with portuguese. It’s annoying that I have to constantly switch when needed globally the layouts. At least multiple connected mouses seem to work fine.
I am trying to install kde neon in a VM to try plasma 6 and actually test and report bugs, too, and the installer launches into a completely transparent window and I can’t proceed from there. Tried to install opensuse krypton, it was taking so long to install I actually gave up and quit the install.
In my experience too KDE Neon unstable is a total mess.
Maybe try the new Fedora Rawhide with KDE? There even is an immutable image now. I will try that on Baremetal in a few minutes, as in the VM scaling and all was a mess, but VMs also just dont cover regular use scenarios (dual monitors, energy saving, fingerprint sensor (I want to keep mine for the host lol), memory, actually working GPU (thanks AMD mobile bullshit CPUs)
Plasma 6 is currently in beta, so it really isn’t meant to be used for anything other than testing. I have it installed on arch, and honestly it’s good enough for my use with wayland, but you will definitely will run into issues. I also use Nvidia, though, so I’d probably have more issues than you will.
Overall, I only recommend it right now if you can roll back or if it isn’t that big of a deal if your install breaks.
Apparently, this is now part of kdeplasma-addons, so this might be in a separate package, which may not be pre-installed by your distro. I really don’t know, if it means anything, but Nate felt it worth mentioning here: pointieststick.com/…/these-past-2-weeks-in-kde-wa…
Post says it’s ready as a daily driver. I want to help with bug reporting, is it good enough to replace current fedora plasma or should I wait for a beta?
