In kde-unstable for a few days now, no thread so far. Nobody else testing this time around?

I had a quick look at it some days ago, but it conflicted with some kde gear stuff so I went back to the stable release.

I generally love the idea of beta testing. Except for KDE Plasma. As @Grothesk said, All too often Plasma betas don’t play nice with KDE Gear stuff. I have no problem waiting for the first stable release. If I want to know more about KDE Plasma next versions, I generally check in on my trusted Linux YouTubers to see if there’s any beta reviews.

I’m running it myself, I was more interested in comparing notes for feedback.

The plasma beta is usually fine, what messes with other apps is that Arch’s kde-unstable channel has a high chance to include a Qt-beta too.
