From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

On Arch Linux, Plasma 6.0.1 was released a few minutes ago in the testing package sources.
~~I am curious if this version will reach the official repositories or if there are still reasons to delay an official release.~~
Edit: That went faster than expected. Plasma 6.0.1 has been moved from Testing to Extra.
I’ve been waiting for this! Downloading now, work can wait for me to tinker a little
In the meantime, I have installed the update to Plasma 6.0.1 on my notebook. There were no problems and so far everything is working as it should.
Same here. Works great! I had to switch back to X11 because the time tracking software my company uses doesn’t want to work with Wayland for some reason - it did previously
Have you already checked whether xwayland is still installed? And have you tried to start the program using
QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb your_program?I haven’t looked at too deeply yet. I’ll have a look on the weekend.
