This week in KDE: Looking towards Plasma 6.1

pelya ,

Eeeh. Backporting the bugfix also seems unlikely. So in conclusion, I gotta build it myself.
I don't want bleeding edge, I want less bugs. Yeah, plasma_wayland works okay, but not with two monitors.

MajinBlayze ,

Imo look into opensuse if you want newish stuff without living on the bleeding edge.

Fedora can be an option too if you stick a version behind the latest

I always thought Kibi, Mebi and Gibi were base 10, and Kilo, Mega and Giga were binary, but now that I think about it, it makes sense that its the other way around.

For those having trouble remembering: It's already in the name.
Kibibyte --> "Kilo Binary Byte", Mebibyte --> "Mega Binary Byte", etc.

Impressions after a week using KDE Neon: Amazing

It's been fairly stable as I would expect from an LTS. There's LOT of hiccups with whatever is happening in the tray area (power and battery sometimes doesn't work).

Language is pretty screwed up. I speak both English/Spanish in a Spanish location. Installer chooses half spanish and english in the /etc/locale, and has issues changing it in the frontend.

Overall nothing I can't fix as I put stability overall

Had issues with it. I seem to remember it not waking from sleep or similar.

I'm sticking with EndeavourOS and Plasma ;-)

I recently "downgraded" from Neon (when they went to Plasma 6) to Kubuntu (which is running 5.27)

Overall I would say that Kubuntu has had fewer issues than Neon did, even excluding the Plasma 6 upgrade (which pretty much broke my system.)
