Today Plasma 6 was provided by the kde-unstable repo in Archlinux. The upgrade worked, packages got replaced just fine. The SDDM breeze theme is broken now, but I can login just fine with the default theme to Plasma 6 on Wayland. Plasmashell 6 and krunner 6 like to crash a lot, but at least kwin 6 didn't crash. If Plasmashell 6 crashed multiple times, it won't come back automatically. Somehow opening in krunner "plasmashell" doesn't return it anymore (maybe related to the systemd service?). But opening a terminal works and then you can start plasmashell from there. Interestingly opening the start menu and then clicking on the desktop crashes plasmashell immediately, very obvious that bug :-) Besides the expected instabilities and crashes, I'm quite positive about it so far as it works better than expected. I will continue testing it and I'm sure that Plasma 6 will work quite good once it is released officially :-)

Not sure what you are testing but Plasma 6 is not in the kde-unstable repo on archlinux. https://archlinux.org/packages/?repo...t=-last_update
