Funny seeing "improved notifications" in there. Yesterday I got an update to KDE Frameworks and it broke that: notifications (and not only) no longer respect the DPI setting. I'll see if upgrading from 5.19 to 5.20 fixes it.

Edit: Scratch that, it seems to be working fine today, after reboot. I only logged out yesterday, strange that didn't reload Frameworks cleanly.

It looks terrible. So many buttons, toolbars, menus, its all so cluttered, it looks like a nightmare. It must be very daunting for new users,

To its defense, it is cool that it has Wayland support, and the list of KDE applications is really impressive!

I can no longer get the bar of buttons on the windows. the windows are steady and no longer manageable. A mess of big proportion.

That's the point of KDE, isn't it? If I want a minimalistic DE I pick one of the countless others.

Is kwin_x11 missing from your installation? Some users reported that in Reddit; it's a distro issue (bad packaging).

Probably someone has provided the solution to the trouble in the new release. I've just seen the KDe blog. Newer Kwin-x11 package has been wrongly missed from the repository. The users able to try it by Muon or Discovery, manually install Kwin-x11 package. This problem seems to affect KDe Neon users for sure.

Yeah, I've just read about it on KDe blog. Someone has got the solution. all works perfectly now.

Probably some unknown in Kde management want the end-users to murder....
