Hi! I currently am on LMDE with Cinnamon (after trying a lot of distros and DE). I use laptops and so I am curious about trying wayland, which can offer a better experience with gestures, as far as I understand. Gnome is cool, but it is not flexible and I don’t want to install extensions over extensions. So I am thinking about KDE 6, again. I like it but at a certain point it drives me crazy. There is always something that doesn’t work well. Maybe it’s because I change too many things. I don’t know. Anyway, is it true that KDE 6 is not really stable yet or its stability level is simply the usual one?

I hardly change anything in Plasma. In my experience Plasma 6 is about as stable as Plasma 5.27 is/was. I rarely see a crash, freeze or inconsistancy I didn’t cause myself.

It works fine for me. Not on wayland but that’s down to my Nvidia card and I hope explicit sync will sort it out.

It was unstable in my case (AMD and Intel graphics), the UI is not great in my personal opinion and to me it just looks and feels like a low-budget beginner OEM system. Sorry KDE devs but that’s my opinion

I haven’t noticed a huge difference from kde 5. Wayland works for normal browsing and computer use but breaks when I play games so I’m still on x11.

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.
