No way this happens
I was eagerly awaiting the reaction to this news, as to know what I think, if good/bad/sad/happy!
âŚand you went with a no mouth! I donât know what to think!
Given the reason that the limit is set to protect the CPU from dangerously low operational voltages, contrary to the seemingly unhappy consensus, I think it is good
Well I guess itâs no surprise m$ is caught lying.
Arch Linux KDE Plasma is stable @ 6.0.1 and has been released to the Arch repositories. Woohoo!!!
Is stable or is in stable, or both?
Itâs in Stable.
But everything Iâve run in Testing the past few daysâwhatâs been portedâwas in very nice condition. It was hard finding any pkgs left to sign-off on even 2 hrs ago.
I remarked-out the Testing repos in pacman.conf, did a -Syuu, rebooted, and it actually worked. Arch has a really swell development team, I sure can say.
Plasma + Wayland â it was a toss-up if I was gonna live that long.
I had a few issue a few months back on Wayland using KDE with multimonitors. Now that 6.01 has dropped, I guess it is time to revisit and see if they have been ironed out.
Thanks man.
Hey, send me one & I promise to test for youâŚone thing I could not do, darnnit.
I have to install GNOME[testing] in a VM a little later today, just to keep it from âcontaminatingâ my purty/stable Plasma 6 DE.
I just switched, using KDE Wayland to test. One thing I will warn users, get ready to reconfigure your themes, settings, etc, either using Wayland or legacy X11 KDE on plasma 6. I am thinking, it would be better to do a fresh install (which I hate, pain in the ) but it is probably easier in the long run especially if you have a lot of customization, widgets, etc. Also, there are currently only 9 themes available for plasma 6. This killz because I love theming!!
hmm looks like computers are becoming more and more like humans.
This was announced many months ago.
Fortunately mine were all included. Keep checking in Discover. Jeeze, Rodney, patience please!
So how did that work out?
Still some issues. If I right-click on an application to get menu options, the menu options appear on the other monitor. When the login screen appears for me to enter my password after the monitor has been sitting idle, the login inputs/boxes do not appear on the monitor designated as the âmainâ monitor. These issues were present the last time I tested Wayland and KDE.
Damn! Sorry to hear that, Rodney.
Please stay tuned! As youâre aware, Plasma is just getting started.
The future is only one update failure away.
So, hey, it was bad before, right? No gain, no loss, right! Right?
Oh I am not complaining. I think one of the plasma upgrades, maybe 4 to 5 if memory serves, was genuinely horrific, as in causing system issues. I got none of that with this upgrade, KDE devs did a great job. It bootedâŚand that always makes me happy. The rest can be sorted.
I know. Thatâs always one darn scary moment, huh!
It is ingrained in the memory of every scarred survivor.
One of several past KDE blunders. Another was removing the Comic icons. I really miss those little suckers.
weird⌠i have two monitors and it works properly. only change I noticed, is that SDDM now only shows on one monitor (used to mirror the screens). But no issue whatsoever on plasma.
It was from kde 3 to plasma 4.
and it wasnât a blunder on KDE part, the distros did the blunder. No matter how much KDE team said âNOT READY, DONâT SHIPâ, distros shipped it anyway.
But KDE 3 to Plasma 4 was a major tech feat. It was almost a major rewrite of everything, based on new tech that wasnât even properly supported at the time in terms of graphic and even sound, and qt was starting the âQMLâ thingy. (pulseaudio was starting at the time, supper buggy).
So it was almost a âmission impossibleâ to deliver a .0 version stable, but distros shipped it anyway⌠At version 4.8~4.12, it was stable and good
