Ive been wanting to upgrade from Plasma 5 to 6 for some time, but I don’t want to manually upgrade, risking breaking everything.

So, does anyone know when they will release Manjaro with KDE Plasma 6?

I don’t know

But archinstall now installs KDE 6 correctly. Just saying

archinstall is the best. I’ve been using it out of laziness for a while and it’s downright amazing.

It has been on unstable since Arch had it. Unstable is just mirroring Arch repos. So it wouldn’t give you any idea of when the update will reach stable.

Considering the KDE has normally been their flagship edition, I’m wager their working out the final touches.

What? I’ve been running it for a while. Wayland was pretty borked (couldn’t figure out how to make it not be 640x480!), but then I have an NVidia card and I believe that’s standard

If you reset all theming options to default (icons, window decorations, colors, etc), and backup your config files, there should be no issues upgrading to KDE6. Keep in mind though, most themes for KDE5 don’t work for 6 unless the author updated, or you’re willing to manually modify a couple files. Most icon packs should be available though.

That’s something they didn’t handle all too well imo. They seem to be able to detect incompatible stuff, so it would have been quite easy to help you clean it up. Finding all the places things are stored after they just disappeared from Settings was a bit of a pain.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
