Overwhelmingly positive.

99% positive. Wayland works flawlessly. HDR didn't cause issues (all AMD hardware).

The only issues I have off the top of my head are

1: Some icons in the system tray and system settings menu (the 'Clipboard' icon on the dock and the 'Touchscreen' tab in settings, and a couple others) display as a blank rectangle sometimes. Other times, they display as they should. Haven't even bothered looking for a solution as it doesn't effect usability in the slightest.

2: Certain pop up menus for dock applets, ie the Bluetooth applet, display incorrectly. I actually saw a post of another user having this issue, where the window only shows as a small square, and can require a re-log to actually make it work.

Other than these minor glitches, nothing has given me any issues.

Good

It’s like al KDE projects IMHO. Good on the surface and works well. But use it for any length of time and you will find problems, unfinished areas, or parts where it was implemented without considering why it was like this in the first place.

For example, plug your 1080p laptop into a display with 4K and watch are your desktop icon gets sorted by a-z randomly instead of keeping the order you had it.

Or try to add a calendar even to your system by clicking the calendar which is found in the date and time on the taskbar.

Online accounts added to the system do not integrate into other KDE apps requiring additional signin.

I feel this is probably caused from KDE’s team being small, but having a large suite of apps.

I recently switched from being a long time GNOME users over to KDE Neon. It has been a nearly flawless experience.

My biggest complaint so far is the lack of NFS support in Dolphin, which I use for my NAS. GNOME Files had native support for NFS. Now I have to manually mount from CLI and then it'll show up in Dolphin (eventually I'll setup fstab, but haven't done it yet).

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.

Definitely noticing more bugs than I did on KDE 5, but I'm happy for the new features and over ease of use 👍

Works very well. Only issue is missing ported extensions and the cursors lol.

For some reason all cursors made for plasma 5 are blurry, so the existing "breeze plasma 5 cursors" dont work that well.

And I miss "minimal desktop switcher" as the Plasma 6 alternative just makes Plasma desktop crash for some reason.

IMO the best Linux desktop experience that you can get right now

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 had to wait a little for my favorite widgets to get updated to 6, now I'm good.
I have been using the Wayland session for a while (I was on for months on 5), and it solved so many multi-monitor woes it has been worth the switch. So far my only complaint is that remote access solutions are rather limited on Plasma, with Sunshine and Moonlight being the only consistently working solution, as Krfb (VNC) crashes randomly, doesn't handle modifier keys well and forces you to click "OK" on a dialog every startup, thus making it useless for unattended access (Plasma issue).

Other than remote access, no complaints.

works fine for me, didn't really see any big issues.

Fixed most of my problems with Nvidia+Wayland. I still have to keep the explicit sync patched Xwayland around until it gets a new release, but other than that it works nearly flawless.

I use the wayland session on an Intel machine with no dedicated GPU, works flawlessly for me.

Screensharing is broken, pretty good other than that

It's pretty good! I wish System Settings was less confusing/overwhelming and it had more graphics tablet options, though.

Really needs more stability and to solidify its modifying features, not have them a bit everywhere. Really cant have a black screen bug every time I put my PC/Laptop to sleep

Looks really sleek with the new floating panels, and being able to turn a panel into an icon task manger is still nice, and the new overview window is great for workflow.

However multi monitor support is still garbage. Like 3/4 of programs will never remember their size and position, so you have to make a never ending list of kwin window rules, which then end up affecting other windows you don't want to. Other things like right click menus will show up on the wrong monitor way off in a corner get old real fast. Its like the cartoon spiderman meme of 3 Spiderman's pointing at each other. Qt6, Wayland, and kwin all pointing the blame of why its like the way it is, while bug reports rack up another year of no fixes.

HDR having a toggle and working is really nice, but when it was on and I booted up a game, the in game options wouldn't allow me to turn on HDR.

Works great for me. I’m on X11 for now as an application for work refuses to work with Wayland - support page and I haven’t tried figuring out how to get it to use Xwayland.

Now that I think about it, I had one issue with screen tearing but that was more a driver issue with Nvidia.

Why can't I inline two tab bars? I want a center island with a task manager and an island on the right with a system tray.

Otherwise it's peachy.

working very well for me, and the most thing that i notice is scaling at 125% now not being blurry.

They borked some features which I used and haven't fixed them yet.

Anecdotal, but for me worked a lot better with my monitors (both the same exact model though). On plasma 5 they had trouble waking up after suspending

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.

Pretty good overall. I had Dolphin crash on me once, and even killing and restarting the process didn't help, only a system restart fixed the issue. Not sure what that was all about, I could access files just fine with other applications.

It also has some smaller bugs/lack of polish. The keyboard layout switch overlay/hint/toast appears at the correct position only for the first time, after that it snaps to the top-left corner of one of the connected displays.

I've also had the system tray icon popups reduce their width and height to 0 more than once, requiring a change in the config file under ~/.config to correct this issue.

Mostly positive althought there has been no shortage of bugs. That said, when I did a clean installation (not an upgrade), most of them disappeared, so I guess I'd recommend a fresh install. I still wouldn't say it's as stable as Gnome or Cinnamon, but the trajectory KDE have been on when it comes to making their DE less janky has been amazing recently.

There's been a lot of subtle UI improvements that make KDE feel a lot less disjointed, although you still see it here and there.

The improvements to the overview (Gnome activities view clone) are great.

Compared to the absolute shit show that was Plasma 4 and 5 for their initial releases, Plasma 6 is amazing. It's still not my DE of choice, but I keep it on one of my systems just to see the progress.

I tried it on my laptop. Apps that used to run without any problems would terminate randomly. I also tried it on desktop with AMD video card and didn’t observe this issue.

Overall i went back to gnome 3 days later.

It was a bit rocky coming over from Plasma 5, but settled in nicely now.

I have no what extra it provides, all I know is I was debugging for a while after the update, and I had to make compromises because of bugs I couldn't fix. Soooo
