โ€ฆ But many people are confirming that the current version is already very mature and quite stable. Ultimately it is your choice. Use at your own risk โ€“ and report all those bugs to

https://bugs.kde.org

The final release is only 10 weeks away!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social ooooh yes. The alpha was a bit too unstable for my taste, but I already love the first beta (and of course reported quite some bugs) and now totally look forward to more and more stable versions

Simply wanna say how stoked I am to try this once it hits Arch, out of beta. Been following the development of this via Nicco Loves Linux on YouTube, and the hype has only continued to build. Letโ€™s go!

@zak @kde kde unstable on arch has been working beautifully. Some errors happen. I expect the submitted reports are useful for making the release perfect.
