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!
KDE moment (source: me, doing the same thing)
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 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
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.
I am actually considering rebasing to Fedora Kinoite Prerelease as I get hard crashes on normal Kinoite... damn
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!
kde plasma 6 is pretty good, latte dock broke for me though, so i had to make it as a normal centered bottom panel
Upgraded my 2 EndeavourOS machines last week. Rebooted and all was fine.
Upgraded my 1 EndeavourOS machine 5 times today.
Didn't reboot and all was fine.
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.
Four times? Pfffft...amateur 😜 /s (says the Gentoo user lol)
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 Starting up plasma took longer than expected the first time, one widget was broken/out of date, and the bouncing activation animation on items on the taskbar isn't working anymore (haven't seen anyone else with this problem yet).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.
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 Only hiccup I had was from an outdated archinstall script with incorrect dependencies.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.
Sunshine/Moonlight is pretty awesome given a decent connection.
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!
The EU would like to have a word with you.
Imagine being part of the EU and then deciding to leave...
Cmon now, there's no one stupid enough to do that and regret later on. Right?
Do as I say?
Its my computer and im gonna fuck it up.
Fuckin' A, its why I run as root and get annoyed when some programs refuse to run as root for "security" reasons
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 knew my opinion wasn't popular, but that's why I'd rather use Manjaro than Arch. I can wait for a bit of stability before getting KDE6.
Well, with Manjaro style you'll only get the same KDE6 bugs, but couple weeks later...
Why do you say that? I'll get kde 6.02 or later directly, without having to go through the previous versions.
So do I with "insert any other distro" when I postpone update myself...
Well, yeah. But how do you keep updating your distribution while freezing KDE version?
If I don't feel like complicating things I'll just wait those 2-3 weeks? And how does Manjaro do it? If what I read online is right, they simply take Arch packages, wait a bit and then release them as is...
They do more than that. They basically triage individual updates in a testing environment before enabling them in stable. I can keep my entire OS up to date with all the latest security updates while remaining in the latest KDE Plasma 5 version as long as Manjaro thinks version 6.x is not stable enough.
To me that's a huge advantage over Arch.
Well, you can believe this or the thing I said. My experience with Manjaro were more along what I wrote, so the distro is dead for me. But if what you wrote is real they'd do basically what my today distro (Tumbleweed) does which is good.
Well, that's my experience as a Manjaro user on my daily home laptop for 3+ years. I'm really happy about it and can't make sense of the criticism I'm reading about it.
After using kde for a long time, I switched to gnome last year after gnome 40(?). Has KDE changed drastically since last year?
Not drastically, mostly improved Wayland support, some minor GUI improvements, and desktop cube
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.
experience?
