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.

Yes, it never crashes anymore at all for me. Lots of work went into stability and bug fixes in plasma version 6.
So please don't try it on Debian stable or something. Use the latest version!
FYI I try it on Arch Linux.
I daily drive Plasma 6 Wayland on Archlinux based distro (EndeavourOS). Its the most stable KDE I have ever used. Before that I was using since Plasma 5 X11 on same distro and switched to Wayland when 6 became available. Unless you have some issues that are specific to your setup, it works surprisingly well. I even use an auto tiler addon and added a second monitor (ok the monitor is since today :D).
All in all, its stable after the 2 big updates that focused on stability since 6 launched.
KDE always gets more stable after a lot of minor updater. But it can't be completely stable and then big updates ruin everything anyways. KDE has a ridiculous update model for a serious project. There's not enough testing.
Compared to 5.1x days, it's much more stable on Arch Linux. I haven't had issues since 6.2 I think (always on latest)
Good for you and have fun.
