Disclaimer: Alpha software is unfinished, will be unstable and will contain bugs. It is published so volunteers can trial-run it, identify its problems, and report them so they can be solved before the publication of the final release version.
The calendar for the next KDE Frameworks, KDE Plasma and KDE Gear has been
published.
8 November 2023: Alpha
KDE Gear 24.01.75 / KDE Plasma 5.80.0 / KDE Frameworks 5.245.0

I will wait until it is officially released and installed on my computer. Then I still have a lot of time to figure out what’s new and what works and what doesn’t
Someone in another thread stated the boot issue I am experiencing is because of the KDE DE. I don’t know how much truth there is to that, but I am desperate to fix this. I am still waiting for help on my other thread but no luck thus far. This literally might force me to distro hop as much as I don’t want to, but if I can’t fix or at least know why it’s happening, then I’m going to be in trouble. I am using my device for work now and those boot issues will hinder my workflow.
Yeah, so I read through that. At no point did anyone mention a DE issue. They only mentioned a distro issue - in this case EnOS.
In order to test if it’s related to your DE, you’d have to install EnOS using a different DE than Plasma. However, as they established you should experience the same thing across Linux distros, and seeing as you are not, the DE itself shouldn’t matter.
According to your tests, using a different distro with the same device works as expected. So this is solely (as far as we can see) an EnOS issue.
It is okay to use a different distro and ask for help here, just so long as you know your issue may be unique to the distro you are using. This is a great Arch community. The best IMHO.
For me, I need noisetorch (a noise cancellation app) for work. For whatever reason, when I had installed it while using EnOS, it just wouldn’t work properly, and I remembered that I had tried ArcoLinux and Archcraft before where it ran perfectly. So now I’m not using EnOS for the base install, but I’m using it as a secondary Repo.
