99% positive. Wayland works flawlessly. HDR didn’t cause issues (all AMD hardware).
The only issues I have off the top of my head are
1: Some icons in the system tray and system settings menu (the ‘Clipboard’ icon on the dock and the ‘Touchscreen’ tab in settings, and a couple others) display as a blank rectangle sometimes. Other times, they display as they should. Haven’t even bothered looking for a solution as it doesn’t effect usability in the slightest.
2: Certain pop up menus for dock applets, ie the Bluetooth applet, display incorrectly. I actually saw a post of another user having this issue, where the window only shows as a small square, and can require a re-log to actually make it work.
Other than these minor glitches, nothing has given me any issues.
It’s like al KDE projects IMHO. Good on the surface and works well. But use it for any length of time and you will find problems, unfinished areas, or parts where it was implemented without considering why it was like this in the first place.
For example, plug your 1080p laptop into a display with 4K and watch are your desktop icon gets sorted by a-z randomly instead of keeping the order you had it.
Or try to add a calendar even to your system by clicking the calendar which is found in the date and time on the taskbar.
Online accounts added to the system do not integrate into other KDE apps requiring additional signin.
I feel this is probably caused from KDE’s team being small, but having a large suite of apps.
Overwhelmingly positive.
They borked some features which I used and haven’t fixed them yet.
Which ones?
-
I use the fullscreen start menu. I can’t select search results with keyboard anymore.
-
Inverting window colors doesn’t work for me anymore, after they set the default to wayland. (I used it for app’s which don’t have a dark theme)
-
Focus stealing prevention (global setting and window rules) doesn’t work anymore.
-
window positioning guidelines keep flickering in and out of existence all day, even when I don’t resize any windows.
You might want to report these. In the last This Week in KDE, it says:
This week we put some of the final Plasma 6.0 bugs to rest, and continued working towards Plasma 6.1
I mean, theoretically, this could mean that they decided these issues are a WONTFIX, but I imagine, they rather just don’t know of them.
At least the two I care about most already have an open issue in the bugtracker, which I am following for updates.
I’ll search for the other two when I am bothered enough and report them if they aren’t

Fixed most of my problems with Nvidia+Wayland. I still have to keep the explicit sync patched Xwayland around until it gets a new release, but other than that it works nearly flawless.
Really needs more stability and to solidify its modifying features, not have them a bit everywhere. Really cant have a black screen bug every time I put my PC/Laptop to sleep
Hi! I currently am on LMDE with Cinnamon (after trying a lot of distros and DE). I use laptops and so I am curious about trying wayland, which can offer a better experience with gestures, as far as I understand. Gnome is cool, but it is not flexible and I don’t want to install extensions over extensions. So I am thinking about KDE 6, again. I like it but at a certain point it drives me crazy. There is always something that doesn’t work well. Maybe it’s because I change too many things. I don’t know. Anyway, is it true that KDE 6 is not really stable yet or its stability level is simply the usual one?
Screensharing is broken, pretty good other than that
Anecdotal, but for me worked a lot better with my monitors (both the same exact model though). On plasma 5 they had trouble waking up after suspending
Absolutely unusable for one big reason: still no good tiling options in KDE. They got me hopeful with their tiled area system but then dropped the ball on execution. An OS without tiling is functionally unusable for real work. There aren’t even any good KWin scripts for it. At least Windows has stuff like FancyWM. Will not be using any time soon. GNOME, with the ability to install Pop Shell 2, is by far the superior DE, and it’s not even close, and I’ll stick to that for most things and a WM/compositor (in this case Hyprland) on my main machine. KDE is and will continue to be trash until they can add true tiling support. Might as well some 1980s looking WM like OpenBox. That’s what KDE is. Old and unusable. Nothing else they “improve” matters since the core of operations doesn’t function.

I don’t really want to give some of your hyperbolic statements credibility by replying, but - I’ve been loving Mudeer for tiling. I’m not sure if it qualifies as a true tiling window manager and my setup does straddle the line between tiling and floating, but it works great for me.
I’ll give it a look
It was unstable in my case (AMD and Intel graphics), the UI is not great in my personal opinion and to me it just looks and feels like a low-budget beginner OEM system. Sorry KDE devs but that’s my opinion
It works fine for me. Not on wayland but that’s down to my Nvidia card and I hope explicit sync will sort it out.
I recently switched from being a long time GNOME user over to KDE Neon. It has been a nearly flawless experience.
My biggest complaint so far is the lack of NFS support in Dolphin, which I use for my NAS. GNOME Files had native support for NFS. Now I have to manually mount from CLI and then it’ll show up in Dolphin (eventually I’ll setup fstab, but haven’t done it yet).
Works mostly fine for me, but for some reason the system tray popups don’t work on my 2nd monitor most of the time, but sometimes they seemingly randomly work. Otherwise completely smooth sailing.
working very well for me, and the most thing that i notice is scaling at 125% now not being blurry.
