Plasma 6 (KDE) just reaching the repositories

I went for it! No problems!

Only on my laptop though, which was already running Wayland, my desktop is X.org so I’m holding off on that for a wee while. Laptop is Intel integrated on i7, desktop is AMD 6600

i tried to even set this up in pacman.conf using group ignore… its a hell on dependencies … the only way is to simply do not do any update :wink:

Running on a full AMD system built a few months back, and oddly enough, it’s been surprisingly flawless for me…

Sounds normal to me. :rofl:

Fair, just asking because wayland was usable on 5.27… I guess I’ll wait

Those are pretty strong words… Especially for a compositor that can’t even run Xeyes.

I had no problem running Xeyes under Xwayland

(ofc the eyes only work with other Xwayland windows)

Plasma 6 has installed this vlc-player together with phonon without being asked. How can I get rid of vlc without breaking phonon?

With every dependency that I have to uninstall to get rid of vlc, phonon is broken a little more or complete.

Normally I would wait, but I could no longer. I use Polonium extension which turns Kwin into an automatic tiling window manager. As a former Qtile user, I can’t live without auto tiling; its not possible. With the upgrade to Plasma 6+Wayland the script no longer works and I decided to install it from git-source. Some shortcuts still don’t work…

Other than that, it seems to be solid so far.

There is some contradiction in your words :rofl:

I’m not talking about hate. It was just that everything was set up as convenient for me, and in an instant it turned out that I was in a “foreign” system :thinking:

Not sure what contradiction you mean. I could no longer wait to upgrade Plasma 6, which is independent from my other statement. If there was no way of auto tiling windows, I would probably not use KDE, because stacking window managers are unusable to me. Edit: I feel so unsmart right now. :smiley:

Unfortunately, that’s the reality of a rolling distro. It rolls.

And especially Plasma and ɢɴᴏᴍᴇ, they have very active development and change a lot over time.

Hello from the other side!
Well, at least the multi-monitor config on Wayland has started instantly as it’s was on the X11.

Rolled back to the state before the update. I will wait until the end of the month. Maybe something will be fixed…

I’m sure a lot of issues will be fixed. But it will be different from Plasma 5.

What was broken. I didn’t see all that much change in my config.

Same for me, except just couple of options…

As long as you switched to X11 everything should be fine ™
Apart from ksysguard is no more :rage:

May I recommend htop as an alternative? It’s only slightly bloated.
