You can compile Kvantum yourself with some cmake flag, that’s how I got it working. Some things look a little different and blur effect doesn’t work. So yeah, not really ready.

How’s an average user supposed to know? I get updates almost every day and yeah there were a lot of packages last time but I didn’t realize it was a “major” release

People really don’t like to hear bad experiences, judging by the downvotes. But I agree it’s a really bad upgrade and it’s not ready for use at all.

My experience with Plasma6 upgrade:

• A new, but empty, floating panel was installed and my existing panels all got mangled up so I had to delete everything and make a new panel
• SDDM doesn’t use my selected theme and displays a huge virtual keyboard that blocks half the screen (changing themes doesn’t help)
• Icons are broken and ugly (changing icon sets didn’t help me), mainly because “missing” icons are replaced by black icons on a black background
• Kvantum doesn’t work, so I can’t use my theme
• Conky always stays on top and breaks the desktop
• The screen goes on standby while watching movies
• Win+Tab to get grid view no longer works
• Terminal shows squares instead of unicode symbols
• Shutdown/reboot/log off no longer works from the start menu, I have to manually run sudo shutdown
• Scrollbar behavior got broken (at least this is fixed with a setting)
• It’s trying to set Wayland to standard even though it still doesn’t work
• Animations don’t work anymore
• Hovering over a start menu entry (to open a menu) also opens a “plasmashell <2>” on the taskbar

Don’t upgrade if you haven’t already.

For me, yes: Wayland doesn’t work at all and the only answer I can get is that it’s because of Nvidia. That’s stupid because until some update broke it, it worked. Most apps were just very buggy.

I’m not really familiar with Gnome

Maybe consider using a launcher for that, like albertlauncher (Linux) or ueli (Windows).
