Anxiously waiting for ARCH to update their repos, they YANKED it from the unstable repo so I can't cheat and download it early. :)
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's there now!
Great, now please fix per monitor scaling. 4k laptops are unusable when connected to large 4k screens. I need no scaling on large external screen and about 175% on laptop's 16".
Stop using Xorg and your scaling problems are gone.
I haven't used Xorg in years. All my problems are in Wayland.
What problems do you have with per screen scaling on Wayland?
I couldn't even find a place to do it. Only config for display scaling applied or to all monitors. And it requires a restart of kde every time. So either large external screen became unusable or the small laptop screen.
Then you're using Xorg, not Wayland.
Show me a screenshot of what your display settings look like please.

Best to report the issue you have with as much information as possible to bugs.kde.org
I did this once for their music player, that bug trackers is hell...I can't even find my original report, but there is enough for a lifetime: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?component=general&product=Elisa&resolution=---
Installed on my openSUSE Tumbleweed and Gentoo computers and so far Plasma 6.2 working great 👍
and Gentoo computers
Did you unmasked it, or did it already hit stable in the KDE repo?
I use the testing ebuilds system-vide.
Great I wonder when will it be available in Nixos unstable
~~There's no PR open for nixpkgs at the moment, so either we wait until a trusted packager updates it, someone makes a PR, or you can also use a thirdparty flake~~
6.2 has been merged into staging-next
There was a PR actually!~ but it was already merged (into staging-next) by the time you made your comment
Ah that's probably why I couldn't dig it up. Nixpkgs gets a ton of activity daily so this PR get buried haha.
Great to hear it's already there
But wait, when I control F for "AI" nothing shows up?!
What a breath of fresh air...
Passed openQA in Tumbleweed, so should be available with 20241007.
Fuck Slowroll, I'm going back to Tumbleweed for this!
About that, I don't really see the appeal of Slowroll, except as psychological reassurance for those who would feel the need to update every time a snapshot comes out. I mean, I personally slow-roll on Tumbleweed all the time by only updating once a month, sometimes more and sometimes less like for this update. I'd be interested to know why you use it!
I activated it on my work laptop to benefit from a little more time to get bug reports upstream. OpenQA can't catch everything. Even if I updated only once a month I'd still get up-to-date software at that time.
Sure, openQA and snapper make catastrophic failure very unlikely. But it's still a small hassle.
But I can't work anymore anyways so I might as well get all the good stuff as quickly as possible. Just gotta find the energy to switch the repos. By that time Plasma 6.2 has probably hit Slowroll. Let's see.
Oh alright, I do see the point now! I had the wrong idea about how it works. I get the need to have more guarantees on functioning packages
I hope KDE does an implementation for cursor warping in Wayland kwin, it's clear it won't get fixed in XWayland any time soon
Color Management Related to the above — and to ensure consistent colors across monitors — we’ve implemented more complete support for the Wayland color management protocol, and enabled it by default.
We have also improved brightness handling for HDR and ICC profiles, as well as HDR performance. This will improve your experience when designing graphics, playing games, and watching videos.
This is the biggest improvement by far.
As somebody who doesnt have an hdr monitor; what does this change exactly?
For me it makes the brightness go up, colors become stronger. It's great for watching movies but not for working.
HDR images will look better. Colors will be normalized to the ones your screen can display.
Cool, thanks
That is huge. The power management changes and being able to set brightness per monitor are pretty nice too.
