Tumbleweed's snapshot 20240311 delivers the sleek Plasma 6 desktop, delighting all openSUSE users betting on the rolling release model.

I installed it over the weekend and so far it’s working great! I’m using Wayland with my AMD GPU, and the only hiccup I had was I needed to change my shell to bash (I use fish), which is fine since I have Konsole set to use fish as well.

Have you used KDE Plasma 6 yet? Thoughts?

    So far the main things I’ve noticed are:

    • Wayland is actually stable
    • change to keyboard layout switching (hotkey seems to actually work)
    • GNOME-style “view all windows” hot corner
    • Konsole settings are a bit different

    So relatively minor things so far, so I’m happy. I’ve been on GNOME the last 6 months or so for Wayland, and coming back feels nice.
