I’m planning to wait 1-2 bugfix releases out, but it looks promising by the vids
I upgraded today!
Encountered only one multimonitor issue with one panel migrating to the primary display after logout/restart, but otherwise, smooth sailing.
Wayland session even seems stable on Nvidia again (I have nothing but regrets about that GPU choice I made 4 years ago).
Does it? I can’t login on Wayland at all, which was working on 5.27.
Wild. 5.27 broke it completely for me! (2070 Super)
I really hope so. 5.27 Wayland is pretty janky for me, even though I use AMD.
Really wish I had waited. Post-update screen share is totally dead on my system. Apps that request access via a portal don’t work and never are given access to whatever I select and X11 apps that try to share X11 apps just have a black screen. It’s sucked because of how often I screen share on discord, and I’ve now totally lost that in both the client and on web. OBS virtual camera can’t even help me now because it can’t get access to anything.
Also on my girlfriend’s computer it totally broke graphical acceleration in the shell. Anything that uses it causes the whole shell to lag, and it makes any playing audio choppy.
There’s also lots of little annoyances around like the entire shell crashing when I change themes that have made me wildly unimpressed so far.
You’re best off waiting.
I installed it on my endeavour laptop last night and apart from reconfiguring my dock-like panel and weather widget, it’s all been plain sailing so far. Now I just need Tumbleweed to release it so I can update my main desktop!
My Endeavour laptop got it today. Couple of tweaks and it was running perfectly.
Funny you mention desktop: I’ve been waiting for Plasma 6 before rebuilding my Ubuntu desktop with Endeavour. Didn’t want to jump the gun, find out that it impacts gaming performance, and then have to rebuild back again. :) Guess I have a desktop to rebuild now…
I reinstalled EndeavourOS on my main desktop yesterday, fresh install, just for Plasma 6. So far, big worth it even though I have a lot to set up still.
One really annoying problem, in firefox the mouse cursor position is wrong. Clicking in firefox clicks on the thing 30-ish pixels above my mouse. I noticed that it only happens when firefox is snapped to the left or right half of the screen (of course that’s how I almost always use it). I can fix it if I maximize firefox then snap it left or right. 100% scaling on the monitor, nothing funky, reset theme/appearance, reset my firefox profile, etc…
Hopefully it gets sorted soon
I also had this bug for a moment.
Good to hear that. At least it’s not an “only me” problem so hopefully we see a fix soon.
that’s an odd one. make sure it’s reported on bugs.kde.org!
Looks like several reports / duplicates and like they’ve zeroed in on the problematic commit - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482687.
Noice! Theyve been killing it with bughunting recently
install kde 6 :D grub shell prompt on reboot D:
I also switched to Wayland for a surprise challenge. And for the extra spice, I also have a Kwin script called Polonium, which supports Plasma 6 only in the current dev version directly from git. Some widgets do not work, but all in all, it’s relatively stable so far and I will get through it.
Good luck everybody.
THANKS OP, I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT
WHY ARE WE SHOUTING!?!
KDE 6 ON ARCH HAS BEEN CANCELLED
SHUT UP GOOGLE
(dunno why I am in a day-old thread)
Other than messing with my scaling and two incompatible applets it just runs absolutely fine. Glad I waited for a week - was thinking about installing it from testing.
Yeah I had a similar experience, it forgot my wifi login for some reason and there were a couple of minor theme/widget glitches, which was fully expected because my system is pretty customized, but other than that it was completely smooth. Maybe half an hour or so of tinkering from updating to being back to normal.
When should we expect this on Tumbleweed?
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1155685
It’s in staging.
Still waiting on tumbleweed :(
broke latte-dock
edit: and my window blurring/transparency no longer works
Is latte dock still maintained?
Hopefully it gets fixed since I know a lot of people like it, but it might be permabroke
Kvantum blur is broken :(
My body is ready
Finally my qt6 apps have a consistent theme!
Mmm first releases! Working from home, its nearly close of play. I know … I’ll update my work laptop.
OK I now have LXDE for a fall back WM so I can read stuff rather more easily than using links in a TTY and switched out SDDM for LightDM - I needed sddm-git to get LXDE to start up. SDDM now simply crashes and dumps core - no idea why. Oh and I have switched to Wayland because X11 no longer works for me. I might put off updating the wife’s laptop for a while, at least until I’ve done my work desktop 8)
I must say its all rather pretty and smooth. Scrolling now has drag and acceleration, which is nice. I’m sure I’ll get KRDC to talk to the sodding wallet so my 100s of RDP connections will work again. For now I’ll call xfreerdp from the konsole. Perhaps I’ll get around to configuring KeePassXC and get around to using that instead. I share several rather large .kdbx with the rest of the firm.
Well, wasnt it already there like a week ago? Or was that only because I’m on testing repos?
