It’s in the Arch Testing repo and will be updating for you soon. EDIT - It’s hit the Extra repo and I am eagerly awaiting the updated mirrors 
Big Screen and new wallpaper features are the big new additions, but there are loads of bug fixes too

Very glad to see lots of bug fixes. Need more releases primarily dealing with that (hint, forget the TV thing nobody will ever use and fix bugs instead).

I hope they have returned to the well known default (next) background images. This 2 year kid “safe landing” painting was kind of odd…

There are good things to learn from Gnome… and other things to avoid completely

True!
Speaking for myself, I have “flagellated” myself to like other DE:s.
I just don’t find the same flow and joy that I find working in GNOME.
Thankfully, there are choices for every taste.
De gustibus non est disputandum.

As well as Plasma 5.26, there has already been an update to KDE Frameworks 5.99 this week, and KDE Gear 22.08.2 has just hit the Arch repos.
Users of other DEs need not fear that they are missing out on updates. Xfce 4.18 is scheduled for release by Christmas, and Gnome 43 may even hit the Arch repos by then

See video above, “what KDE can learn from gnome” 
Now we need a video what gnome can learn from KDE.
Kde doesn’t need to learn anything. It’s already got it! 5.26 baby! Where is Gnome 43?

Yeah! That’s what I call progress 
It’s out but not for Arch.
Holy shamoly

Edit: anyhow, I also like KDE and will be eager to try it out.
