working very well for me, and the most thing that i notice is scaling at 125% now not being blurry.
It works fine for me. Not on wayland but that’s down to my Nvidia card and I hope explicit sync will sort it out.
Good
it works fine for me
They borked some features which I used and haven’t fixed them yet.
Which ones?
-
I use the fullscreen start menu. I can’t select search results with keyboard anymore.
-
Inverting window colors doesn’t work for me anymore, after they set the default to wayland. (I used it for app’s which don’t have a dark theme)
-
Focus stealing prevention (global setting and window rules) doesn’t work anymore.
-
window positioning guidelines keep flickering in and out of existence all day, even when I don’t resize any windows.
You might want to report these. In the last This Week in KDE, it says:
This week we put some of the final Plasma 6.0 bugs to rest, and continued working towards Plasma 6.1
I mean, theoretically, this could mean that they decided these issues are a WONTFIX, but I imagine, they rather just don’t know of them.
At least the two I care about most already have an open issue in the bugtracker, which I am following for updates.
I’ll search for the other two when I am bothered enough and report them if they aren’t
I’m really looking forward to upgrade to Plasma 6, but I’m afraid, that it’s still to buggy for my daily use. I think, it has some UI improvements that are really nice, but I don’t want problems with crashing (I’m just nervous about Wayland instead of Xorg) 🙄
3 has stopped working properly on X11 but it works on Wayland. The only reason I switched to Wayland. Of course, now I have different problems but focus stealing prevention works 🙂
Hmm interesting. I am on wayland for sure, but I tried to make it work for an hour yesterday.
How I noticed it:
I started an install process in pamac gui, then I tabbed to browser window and typed some stuff. Pamac finished downloads and asked for confirmation, the default being cancel and me typing ENTER cancelled it. Mouse was on the browser window and each app was on a different monitor.
I was able to repeatedly reproduce it by doing the same. I have set focus stealing prevention to high, which is described as focus only being stolen when the same type of window is active.
Is my issue maybe that both ran through xwayland? I’ll have to check that later.

I haven’t noticed a huge difference from kde 5. Wayland works for normal browsing and computer use but breaks when I play games so I’m still on x11.
Works great for me. I’m on X11 for now as an application for work refuses to work with Wayland - support page and I haven’t tried figuring out how to get it to use Xwayland.
Now that I think about it, I had one issue with screen tearing but that was more a driver issue with Nvidia.
I use the wayland session on an Intel machine with no dedicated GPU, works flawlessly for me.
Screensharing is broken, pretty good other than that
It’s some apps still being broken, not the desktop. Screen sharing works perfectly fine for me in Slack, Teams (unofficial app by IsmaelMartinez) and web browsers. There’s also X11 to Wayland video bridge that can be used as temporary workaround in unsupported apps.
This is good to know. It is one of the things that most interest me.
Discord is still broken even with that bridge. But that’s the only I found not working so far.
Give Vesktop a try. It’s a clone of discord and they say they support wayland for streaming just fine. It works fine but I haven’t tried the wayland streaming thing yet.
I have it all installed. Discord native, discord flatkpak, vesktop. With vesktop you loose microphone sound auto detection and krysp. But yeah, sharing video works there also on the browser like firefox, but it’s a tradeoff of the rest.
No idea what krysp is, but audio is flawless in my case. Granted, only really used on x11 so far. I use vesktop flatpak on debian sid.
Overwhelmingly positive.
Fixed most of my problems with Nvidia+Wayland. I still have to keep the explicit sync patched Xwayland around until it gets a new release, but other than that it works nearly flawless.
Definitely noticing more bugs than I did on KDE 5, but I’m happy for the new features and over ease of use 👍
I had to wait a little for my favorite widgets to get updated to 6, now I’m good.
I have been using the Wayland session for a while (I was on for months on 5), and it solved so many multi-monitor woes it has been worth the switch. So far my only complaint is that remote access solutions are rather limited on Plasma, with Sunshine and Moonlight being the only consistently working solution, as Krfb (VNC) crashes randomly, doesn’t handle modifier keys well and forces you to click “OK” on a dialog every startup, thus making it useless for unattended access (Plasma issue).Other than remote access, no complaints.
It was a bit rocky coming over from Plasma 5, but settled in nicely now.
I had only used kde once before like 7 years ago and I wasn’t a huge fan. I wanted to try it again and I honestly really like it over gnome. I usually go tiling but felt lazy with a new laptop. The trackpad gestures are really solid.
