OpenSuSE Tumbleweed w/ full disk encryption, KDE6 + Wayland just works.

This is the first time I use Wayland as my daily driver and have not switched back. There's a little flicker sometimes on XWayland apps and window positioning/ location remembering is a bit off. But the advantages (faster all over, font scaling, more secure) make up for it.

I wonder if they will backport explicit sync. I thought they might so it at least for Nvidia's sake, but if so, would Intel and AMD also reap early benefits.

I believe there's a merge request to backport it to 6.0, although 6.1 isn't far off, it will probably even make it in time for Ubuntu 24.10

this won't happen. maybe you can find a custom patched version, but your best bet is plasma 6.1. Nvidia isn't even supporting it yet so it doesn't matter.
Sadly these things take time. Just like the bug I'm personally waiting on being fixed (reported it and everything)

Basically if you set your panels up so you have a horizontal panel and a vertical panel (in my case replicating a unity like setup), the vertical panel glitches and likes to hang off the screen. It doesn't impact usability but it drives me crazy. I wish the kde devs had more manpower, if I ever get good at c++ maybe I'll take a stab at helping out.

I think I have something like this. I use just one vertical panel. At startup, I have to enter and leave edit mode to fix it. I tried remaking the panel from scratch but no luck. Using 5.27 on Fedora 39.

I've never seen this behavior before, but at least I have a workaround

It's been a long time since I was genuinely excited for a new DE release. I'm using Fedora 39, with Plasma 5 on Wayland (AMD graphics) and it's been really great. Looking forward to the first Fedora spin with KDE 6!
