With only 91 days left before launch, today we are releasing the 1st Beta of Plasma 6.
https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/beta1/
This is the time when we call on all testers to download and install it, and stress-test all its features.
WARNING: This is #betasoftware, lots of things are untested and can fail. We strongly recommend you do NOT use it in a production environments. The Beta release should only be used for testing and reporting bugs.
Neon Unstable Edition is already ready with the updates,
but other unstable repositories of other distros will soon be available too. Look out for openSUSE, Arch, Kubuntu, Fedora, and more.

Less gooo I am so hyped
On the one hand, eeeeeeee it’s plasma 6, gotta get the beta.
On the other hand, I can’t brick my Linux install otherwise I’m screwed (running fedora asahi, btrfs on 16k page size causes severe limitations when it comes to getting files out of a system)
Do not try this on your production computer unless it is on another partition or virtual machine.
You should probs not flash it on your main machine
@Kidplayer_666 @WeLoveCastingSpellz Create a btrfs snapshot of your current install. You can just revert if something breaks. Or doesn’t this work on Asahi yet?
No idea to be completely honest. Gotta read the goddamn manual…
What feature are you waiting for?
More panel customizations,also the change to QT6
I wonder if I can get my hands on this beta on NixOS. Anybody know of a flake or overlay?
Edit: I found a flake! Testing it now.
