Meanwhile, a critical 2-year-old bug in the file browsing component that eats your RAM when you have any file-watching going on in your system is still unfixed. Mindblowing.

Do you have the URL to the bug report handy?

I had a similar issue with dolphin, sometimes it eats some CPU while have several tabs open, when I check for logs, it seems that some scp plugin or something like that is running

Occasionally I got problems with plasmashell, it uses too much CPU when indication things, sometimes there is a spinner or something that simply won't stop. That's nasty, otherwise my KDE experience has been mostly fine (since KDE 3.x). It's a good DE, just needs some occasional fix and polish, but that probably is valid for all DEs and WMs.

Does anyone here use kdeconnect? I've been trying to get it to work on a Linux From Scratch build for a while. I had it temporarily work where I could receive messages, but couldn't send any. Now when I try to pair, it crashes the app. I was using 5.73.0 and plasma5 5.19.5. I'll try building with 5.74.0 to see what happens.
It does work fine on a Linux mint install (that uses much older versions of both)

I'm hoping Global Menu Padding Bug has been fixed with this release.

Why does anyone think posting about bugs they’ve encountered here will result in anything. Post a bug report, and if there is a bug report please provide a link when discussing it.

To my knowledge the bug resides in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/ and looking at the commits it has been fixed around Aug 31 and should have landed in 5.74.0 release
