Plasma 6 Bugs
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

Neon Unstable Edition is already ready with the updates,
but other unstable repositories of other distros will soon be available too. Look out for openSUSE, Arch, Kubuntu, Fedora, and more.

Less gooo I am so hyped
What feature are you waiting for?
More panel customizations,also the change to QT6
On the one hand, eeeeeeee it’s plasma 6, gotta get the beta.
On the other hand, I can’t brick my Linux install otherwise I’m screwed (running fedora asahi, btrfs on 16k page size causes severe limitations when it comes to getting files out of a system)
Do not try this on your production computer unless it is on another partition or virtual machine.
You should probs not flash it on your main machine
@Kidplayer_666 @WeLoveCastingSpellz Create a btrfs snapshot of your current install. You can just revert if something breaks. Or doesn't this work on Asahi yet?
No idea to be completely honest. Gotta read the goddamn manual…
I wonder if I can get my hands on this beta on NixOS. Anybody know of a flake or overlay?
Edit: I found a flake! Testing it now.
Where? Ya got a link?
@baduhai Sorry, failed to past the link https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Plasma_6
Thanks! I also eventually came across the link.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social can't wait until my framework laptop arrives 2024 Q1 and I can install arch with plasma 6 on it
Long live KDE! You guys are my heros.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social i really hope the Wideness and Bigness of thigns are customizable
The title is misspelled
Corrected
Will KDE Neon Testing Edition get the update, too?
