So far, I have to say that my #KDE #Plasma6 experience sucks.

The theme I was using doesn't work. The icons all suck. EventCalendar, which was synced to my Google calendar is dead. Vivaldi looks like crap. The panel at the bottom of my screen is floating up probably 100 pixels, leaving useless space below it, I can't find a way to sink it to the actual bottom of the screen. I had increased all my font sizes because my eyes are bad, they have all shrunk and changing the font sizes and the interface percentage doesn't fix it.

So far, not a happy experience @kde

@Fleppensteijn @Max_P The change in the first component of the version number from 5 to 6 is what could have tipped you off. I mean, admittedly there's no universal standard for software versioning that everyone follows, but the closest thing there is to a commonly adopted standard (https://semver.org/) says that when the first component of the version number changes, it's a big deal and things might break. (Or, a relatively big deal, but just how big that is in practice depends on the package.) If you didn't know to look out for that, now you do. 😀

Unless by "average user" you mean someone who relies on automatic updates and doesn't look at what's getting installed. Which is fine, but if you're allowing automatic updates, you have to understand you're giving up the ability to catch stuff like this before it happens. (This situation could certainly be improved, but generally that's the state of things right now.)
