Ever since I’ve received the upgrade, my PC has been giving me a ton of issues. I really don’t want to reinstall. I’ve reported over 5 bugs so far and will report more when I have the time. Some of the major ones so far:

Note that all of these happen on both Wayland and X11. Endeavour OS is the Distro

  1. PC completely freezes on the lock screen when it sits for a while and locks automatically. Keyboard becomes unresponsive. The second monitor goes black. No Ctrl-alt-Fx helps at all. Only way to revive it is by holding down the power button and that is very bad and could cause data loss.

  2. When I suspend the PC then wake it up after a while, monitors mirror each other and nothing fixes it, period. Eventually, I accidentally discovered that the monitors sit on top of each other in the settings and become mirrored. I’d have to get into the sittings and move them and make them side by side then apply.

  3. I don’t know what those windows are called, dialog windows? Child windows? It’s when I want to install a widget from the “download widgets” and that little store pops up. It pops up too small and the search bar is only a magnifying glass and I’d have to click it twice to search something.

  4. Related to 3. After searching and finding the widget I want, clicking it doesn’t show the “install” button. You can’t scroll to bring it up, it’s just hidden under a wall of text.

  5. Since a huge percentage of the widgets/plasmoids just stopped working, and I’ve found out that some of them will need to be uninstalled then installed to work (if at all), I can’t uninstall them. Clicking on the trash icon on the widget doesn’t remove it. Looking it up in the store doesn’t show any results. I’d have to manually delete their folders from

/.local/share/usr/plasma/plasmoids

then I can only install them from discover, not the little store. (Open dolphin as root is completely borked. Not KDE’s failed, but just wanted to mention that plasma 6 broke it and the dev hasn’t ported it yet).

This is just what I can think of. There are so many issues I’m facing. Weird green screens on Wayland. Screen goes black for a couple of seconds here and there. Shit freezes all the time. My PC was flawless before 6. I have a snapshot before 6 and I’m considering going back to 5 until 6.1 hits the repos. I’ll just block plasma updates and leave all of EOS/Arch updates. Not sure if this is a rant or just a question anymore. Lol So, am I the only one?

    I did an upgrade from 5.27 to 6.01 or whatever the latest is, and I had to go through themes and setting files and remove a lot of the old plasma 5 files. It is kind of a pain. I recommend doing a complete reinstall. I am sure some settings file from kde 5 is messing with your configuration. It is a pain, but probably the easiest in the long run.
