Hi all!

I have a laptop running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS and I want to switch to KDE Plasma 6.

How should I change over and why?

Option 1: Install KDE Plasma 6 alongside GNOME

Option 2: Backup and fresh install KDE Neon.

    Ya that was a concern of mine. Even switching from x11 to Wayland causes scaling and some other features to reset for me.

    Have you tried Plasma 6?

      Not yet. I’m a GNOME user and I also use Plasma 5 for customization (idk if 6 is compatible with old themes and stuff). Though I want to try it and see if there are any performance improvements

        I’ve tried running KDE Neon in a VM and it seems that all Plasma 5 widgets and themes aren’t compatible so they don’t show up in search. Kind of a bummer.
