- gpg-agent / ksshaskpass - fucked
- session restore - fucked
- kde connect notification sync settings ain’t working anymore -> fucked
- wayland - fucked
- taskbar in multimonitor setup after display standby -> fucked
- simply shutting down my computer -> fucked
- my favourite: position of desktop icons gets lost and randomized after display standby and so on since years for now - checked and worse!
Every once in a while I try out KDE cause I really don’t like the Gnome way of doing things on a workstation.
And every time so far I was sorely disappointed by how buggy it is all around.
At least default Gnome just works.The desktop icon bug aside plasma 5 wasn’t buggy at all for me.
Use Kjournald and report bugs, that’s the only way you’ll get bugs fixed.
@KISSmyOS @WheelcharArtist It does. I just wish I could figure out why in Gnome that I click on FF on desktop 1 and it jumps to desktop 5. So annoying. heh. :D
Distro?
Arch
Huh… same here and its been flawless. Guess thats the problem with Arch?
Interesting, I’ve not had any of these issues on Arch Linux. My experience is mostly smooth, not perfect, but not nearly as bad as yours. Mind providing more information on your hardware configuration? I’d also recommend going through your journald logs, you can use Kjournald and kdebugsettings for this.
Weird. I’m on Arch as well, and seeing nothing remotely like what you’re experiencing. It’s been buttery-smooth for me.
EndeavourOS checking in - no issues here either. Not exactly a top spec machine either ;-)
Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 Qt Version: 6.6.2 Kernel Version: 6.6.21-1-lts (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx Memory: 5.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 81N6 System Version: Lenovo IdeaPad C340-14API
Similar experience here, far from a smooth transition I was hoping for after seeing all those bugs being squashed before the release.
Are you starting fresh or reusing plasma dotfiles / configs from 5?
I am reusing my config from plasma 5 but switched back to x11, maybe this will help with some bugs.
I suspect a great part of the issues are due to reuse of some dotfiles… right now I’m trying to pin down exactly what borks my wayland login, since it works for a newly created user and I don’t want to reconfigure all of plasma again. I wish we had at least all config files in one place. The status quo is maddening.
