It looks like a good collection of fixes ![]()
And that will probably be within the next day, they always seem faster to release minor updates than more major (like 6.5.0).
Can’t wait for the 6.6 to hit the repos ![]()
i do sweat to see 6.6.6 soon !
Testing Plasma-Desktop-Manager seems to work already properly:
What’s that? Tried looking it up on Arch repos (https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=plasma-desktop-manager) but no package with that name shows up.
Edit: Did you maybe mean Plasma Login Manager (the new SDDM replacement)?
Updated here
For those of you that use better blur , the update removes the option in system settings to use better blur, and disabled it at my end. If you encounter the same problem, clean building better blur solved it for me.
I have to rebuild with every Plasma update. I always remember when I’ve rebooted and can’t see anything clearly!
