Well as is traditional for me. Time for me to test this on my main system. I just wish that Arch didn’t always couple it with beta Qt releases. Edit: So far, so good. Even with Qt 6.9beta, it actually feels smoother as well. Much better than the last release paired with Qt 6.8 beta. ---

Just booted back into it and it seems to be working fine so far. Haven’t noticed any bugs/crashes/stuttering (huge relief after the Protonmail Bridge issue last time around). Edit: Plasma 6.3 Beta 2 so that’s probably why it’s so stable. The official tar date is the week after next. ---
