So far, I have to say that my #KDE #Plasma6 experience sucks.

The theme I was using doesn’t work. The icons all suck. EventCalendar, which was synced to my Google calendar is dead. Vivaldi looks like crap. The panel at the bottom of my screen is floating up probably 100 pixels, leaving useless space below it, I can’t find a way to sink it to the actual bottom of the screen. I had increased all my font sizes because my eyes are bad, they have all shrunk and changing the font sizes and the interface percentage doesn’t fix it.

So far, not a happy experience @kde

      Also gotta keep in mind this is a major release. It’s allowed to break stuff, and the very first release is bound to have some bugs. We’re far into the Plasma 5 lifetime, a lot of the quirks have been ironed out.

      It literally just came out, of course a lot of things haven’t been updated for it yet. Most people’s distros don’t even have it yet, addon authors don’t even know their addons are broken yet.

    So first please conver that post into a list so people can easily refer to issues.

    1. Port the theme or ask the creator or the community
    2. Not constructive feedback
    3. Never heard of that, please elaborate.
    4. Not a KDE bug? Like not at all. Are you on Manjaro?
    5. Right click on the panel and go to edit mode. This is literally a single button press, thanks to Niccolo and more awesome people. I agree that float is annoying but this is KDE, just change it.
    6. how doesnt that fix it? I am 100% sure you can increase font size or overall scale percentage in the settings.

    @MylesRyden Yesterday i upgraded two of my #Fedora 39 VMs to Fedora 40, which includes #Plasma6. One of these was “plain” Fedora #KDE, the other was #Kinoite. Both upgrades went perfectly, & thereafter playing around with them, both have commendably solid robust P6 UX. From my perspective, so far, P6 is a 👍 👍 from me. Hopefully i’ll be able to give it another 👍 once P6 makes it into the #ArchLinux Stable repos soonish.

    PS: It was remiss of me to forget this point when i first posted. I’m primarily an #Archer, who began dabbling with #Fedora out of curiosity. Yesterday’s upgrades’ success & ease, + the pure solidity of the resultant P6 UX, mightily impressed me as a marker for IMO #KDEPlasma being in good hands with all the responsible #Fedora distro peeps. I congratulate & thank them!
