Phoronix: openSUSE Tumbleweed Begins Rolling Out KDE Plasma 6 Desktop, But No Wayland Default Yet

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 done the updated yesterday, that work well and i use wayland (intel video card)
i noticed less cpu and ram consumed

[varikonniemi]

so they are specifically customizing their distro to go against upstream? Lame.

[Rovano]

Argh. So KDE Connect is reason for the fact about a long time for starting Plasma6 now!

Just updated the system and everything works smoothly. Haven't noticed much difference from the previous.

openSUSE is possibly the best distro for KDE.

As a Wayland supporter, this move makes sense to me. I'm sure a large chunk of Plasma 6's bugs are Wayland-specific, and X11 in general is less error-prone. I'm sure once the dust settles with bug reports, Tumbleweed can enable Wayland by default.

Probably best to run the update from a TTY or the IceWM session and not from the Plasma 5 session.

Do not forget to backup your ~/.config

Still not working for me. Update is borked, just like with the Frameworks repo and the betas. But since I use an AMD CPU/APU, no one takes me seriously.
