For those who use Wayland and autostart, don’t forget to edit

/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

from KDE5: Session=plasmawayland

to Plasma6: Session=plasma

to confirm the exact name, check what is available under /usr/share/wayland-sessions/

if you’re stuck, try pacman -Q | grep -i kde and pacman -Q | grep -i plasma and remove everything related, then fresh install plasma-meta or plasma group and it should work

they waited until the first minor version which fixed already some bugs as expected
pretty nice release

Just finished the update, went surprisingly smoothly for me! I had to reconnect the wifi and it’s caused a few minor theme/widget issues (which I was fully expecting) but overall I was basically fully back to running normally in like half an hour or so.

It actually resolved a couple of minor theme issues somehow too, so that’s a bonus!

Oh weird I googled it and I thought it was canceled /s

got to say, the update went smoothly and didn’t need to touch any configs.

Feels quite a bit smoother than the KDE 5 on this aging hardware (i5-2320, igpu, 16GB ram, sata ssd). <3

I can now even “alt-tab” backwards with shift! That just didn’t work previously!

Autologin doesn’t work and energy saving settings tab results in settings crashing. I cannot even find if it’s known because search engines suck. :/

Edit:

The above fix to /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf fixed my issue.

I’m scared it will break something if I update

Not using KDE right now; but I’m happy to see that there’s finally an official Breeze theme for Qt6 apps.

My only complaint so far is my fonts are all messed up because they removed the “Force DPI” setting completely but I managed to make it good enough by just making the fonts bigger. The UI doesn’t scale with it, but at least it works and it’s sharp.

I tried scaling at 120% and 125% and the sizing is good but the fonts are super blurry to the point it’s more readable at 100% with no other changes, same as it’s always been really.

Lots of small but annoying issues here. Nothing that really makes my desktop unusable, but hunting down plasma settings was not how I imagined spending my evening. So far not too impressed…

For me its unusable…

Judging from all the comments here,it’s better to wait a couple of days,or wait for 6.0.1 (but that would be too long for me).

I want plasma 6 goodness,but patience is a virtue.

Another adventurer that updated to plasma 6 and the worst thing I noticed is the performance, this new plasma 6 is worst than version 5 on this aspect by now. I hope with the time it been solved
