I have been using the beta for a while now and went ahead and grabbed the official release out of the testing repos. There was an issue when me and a few others installed the beta where it would forcibly log you out during the upgrade process. Unfortunately, when I installed the official version from the testing repos. The same thing happened. Hopefully that gets caught before it makes it to stable. However, considering it was there in the beta and still in the testing repos. I would recommend that everyone do this update inside of a tty. Other than the beta and the official release have been great improvements over 6.0. ---

Yeah, just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I didn’t wanna report it to upstream Arch since this is endeavourOS, and they won’t like that little detail. Even though this most assuredly effects vanilla Arch as well. ---

I decided to try and reproduce with an Arch iso in a virtual machine and couldn’t reproduce it. Might be another nvidia thing or setup specific. ---

I’m still new here, so please forgive my ignorance. Does anyone know if this fixes the washed out HDR look? I didn’t see it referenced in the release notes. ---

That might depend on what was causing the issue. There was a kernel update that broke hdr for some people a couple of months ago, but I believe that has been fixed. There was an issue with various display port versions having issues that has been semi fixed. Nvidia Gpu’s: > > > With KDE 6 you can enable HDR for a display.

Then, after a recent kernel update, the colors became washed out on AMD in the same way as on Nvidia.

Thank you much for the thorough response! It looks like I fall into the nVidia camp. I’ll check out the driver updates. Thanks again for steering me in the correct direction. Next time I’ll remember to post hardware specs. I’m still learning \>.\> ---

Yes, this happened to me both with the beta and release versions. The second time, it left me with an unbootable system (as the update also included a kernel upgrade). I was able to fix it quickly enough by chrooting in and completing the update, but I truly hope they fix this before it leaves the testing repos. Other than that snag, Plasma 6.1 is great. I highly recommend everyone tries it out, just make sure you have a live EndeavourOS USB handy to perform arch-chroot. 😉 ---
