    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

        After install there was a window saying it’s plasma 6 now and it was linking to the donation web page:

        https://kde.org/community/donations/

        Such a polished release. Seems to run smoother and faster.

        The hdr support really is making games and movies look superb also.

            I don’t but for me the monitor supported hdr appearently, which was a bit of a surprise.

            When I clicked that button, all colors really stood out. Havent seen Linux look that good before. It’s tiring for the eyes when doing ordinary work but nice when gaming.

    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!

      Bit messy for me. I had to hunt down installed plugins etc because they neither worked nor showed up in the menus anymore. I like the improvements a lot though. :)

        Yeah I think I got pretty lucky with this one! My system is fairly customized so I was expecting a lot more trouble tbh

    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.

    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…

    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.
