The openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling release Linux distribution has begun rolling out the KDE Plasma 6.0.1, Gear 24.02 apps, and Frameworks 6.0 packages. Plasma 5 is being replaced within the Tumbleweed repository but openSUSE Tumbleweed isn’t yet transitioning to the Wayland session by default.

    I did an update. First time I tried I borked something. Zypper refused to work. No worries, just rolled back to a snapshot did the update again from tty to be safe. Everything worked just fine. I even released all the locks I had for patterns hah.

    It did leave a ton of unneeded packages behind. Now I’m wondering if I’m safe in cleaning them up.

    The new system has a few bugs but seems otherwise fine. A panel keeps jumping to a different screen on restart. Some small graphical glitches. Nothing I can’t live with.

    Are there any Arch based distros with KDE + Wayland by default?

    Endeavor has X11 by default, right?

      Endeavor and Arch both default to whatever upstream defaults to, so if you update Endeavor to plasma 6 then it will be wayland by default.

      I upgraded to 6 on EOS and it switched to Wayland after the reboot after the upgrade. X11 is still there, though. I kept it as a fallback in case Wayland shits the bed at some point.

      Garuda’s gaming spin should. At least mine runs on Plasma 6 + Wayland and I didn’t do anything special to get there.

    Plasma 6 and Wayland are working great under Tumbleweed for me on my 2-in-1 laptop, but there’s still no usable virtual keyboard package like Maliit in Factory.

    Had to switch back to X11 because of novideo being shit. Tried 525, 535, and 540 and vscode would flicker like that one light at the back of the gas station nobody likes to visit because all they sell are stale cigarettes
