KDE Plasma 6 is out in full! (and now on EOS! Yay! )

qt6ct is for qt6 software theme, until now breeze didn’t have the qt6 theme and I used qt6ct to use a compatible kvantum theme. But I saw that in the arch repos there is breeze5 and breeze, so I solved my question

Somehow I don’t get the newest updates. My system say’s there is nothing to do…

This is how my pacman.conf looks:

#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives

#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#

# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir     = /
#DBPath      = /var/lib/pacman/

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.


[endeavouros]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Include = /etc/pacman.d/endeavouros-mirrorlist

[testing]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]

# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.

[chaotic-aur]

Anyone can see what is wrong?

I also did do: yay -Syu.

How many bugs have to be squashed before it’s considered stable to try out? Is there still an option to use Xorg with KDE Plasma 6. I don’t use KDE Plams, but I just switched back from a Wayland session to Xorg session because just had one program I need not startup anymore and when playing games the screen would glitch out sometimes, which would make my eyes hurt. Probably an Nvidia thing but will try again in a few months.

Plasma 6 has been tested in this thread[1] from alpha to beta to rc1 and 2. Perhaps of interest.

As plasma 6 has now been released by KDE they consider it as stable.

If you aren’t currently using plasma, I would wait until the first point release which should reduce the bugs you see.

I’d want to try it out in a vm, not as my primary DE. Was just asking since I’ve read a lot about first new KDE Plasma containing a lot of bugs.

I had incompatibility issues with some programs on Wayland. LanguageTool for Libreoffice didn’t work, Telegram lacked the support of system window frame as well. It was 3-4 months ago. Do you happen to know if the situation has changed?

I don’t use Telegram nor do i have the language tool since i use US english so i don’t know about that. For what i am using Wayland hasn’t caused me any grief. I’m also using on my Intel with Nvidia.

I use GB English :blush: Fortunately, they aren’t going to drop X11 support for this release. I don’t doubt that KDE team will be able to provide a smooth Wayland experience, but some pieces of software I need haven’t had the native Wayland support so far.

I have a Pro account with LanguageTool and I use it with LibreOffice, and I have Telegram on my desktop. They have worked perfectly with KDE and Wayland for at least 8 or 9 months for me.

I was just playing with it in a VM. Definitely has some minor bugs still.

I’m sure major ones are well hidden…as always, with such a huge codebase :clown_face:

I don’t no is it just me but plasma has been always troublesome with VM:s and live environments :stuck_out_tongue:

Switched to Wayland a couple of months ago too after reading that it’s going to be the default. Been a smooth experience.
