From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

you need Plasma 6.0.1 and the latest git version of Klassy for blur.
Is latte dock still maintained?
Hopefully it gets fixed since I know a lot of people like it, but it might be permabroke
No, it's been unmaintained for a while and probably won't be ported to Plasma 6 unless a new maintainer steps up.
It's really cool, but my sddm theme is now broken :'(
Mmm first releases! Working from home, its nearly close of play. I know ... I'll update my work laptop.
OK I now have LXDE for a fall back WM so I can read stuff rather more easily than using links in a TTY and switched out SDDM for LightDM - I needed sddm-git to get LXDE to start up. SDDM now simply crashes and dumps core - no idea why. Oh and I have switched to Wayland because X11 no longer works for me. I might put off updating the wife's laptop for a while, at least until I've done my work desktop 8)
I must say its all rather pretty and smooth. Scrolling now has drag and acceleration, which is nice. I'm sure I'll get KRDC to talk to the sodding wallet so my 100s of RDP connections will work again. For now I'll call xfreerdp from the konsole. Perhaps I'll get around to configuring KeePassXC and get around to using that instead. I share several rather large .kdbx with the rest of the firm.
My body is ready
It's working fine for me. I like the improved icons and slightly adjusted layout, and the auto-hide panel feature is great.
Issues with my setup: window title applet isn't yet updated to support KDE 6. I know there's a version on the AUR that should work, but I'm waiting to see if it hits the Arch extras repo soon. My Papirus icons don't seem to be applying, so all my folders are Green but Dolphin's icon itself is blue. I also did get a weird temporary black box when moving a window out of the way from an auto hide panel, and the auto hide causes a stutter when it comes back into view.

Finally my qt6 apps have a consistent theme!
Well, wasnt it already there like a week ago? Or was that only because I'm on testing repos?

Kvantum blur is broken :(
Didn't realize this was happening and yay -Syu went brrr and it broke my shit. Probably doesn't help that I'm running nvidia with linux (endeavouros). Wayland doesn't work at all (black screen on login with only mouse ptr, wrong resolution), while Xorg is now much less smooth e.g. on the switching desktop animations. Moving windows around and in-window graphics are fine. Some graphical config stuff changed too; I'm still taking inventory.
I'm also currently playing with nvidia vs nvidia-dkms with different kernels to see if that solves anything.
EDIT: Looks like that my configuration was failing to set nvidia_drm modeset=1 correctly due to my unfamiliarity with dracut. Manually adding nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to my kernel cmdline makes Wayland work (and quite well at that), though Xorg is still laggy.
On rolling release distros you should always read (or at least skim) over what's being updated and if it may impact you.

I realisad when I was trying to install a package, I don't remember what package I wanted to install.
I had to switch back to an x11 session because a lot of stuff is broken in Wayland for me. I was having a lot of flickering in slack and odd mouse issues in games.
Pulseaudio-qt?
