Just got the upgrade today. It failed somewhere halfway, made a mess and destroyed grub with no way to restore it.

I’ll just mention QMMP which is basically a Winamp clone. Works great and I’ve used it for many years now.

Happened to me as well, freezing up the whole system, especially with many/large files. None of the suggestions I found online actually worked. Happened on USB drives as well.

Then my whole HD gave up completely. Replaced it and all problems are gone. USB drives as well: turns out Linux at least tries to read it so you can attempt to save some data, while Windows just says it’s unreadable.

I tried it on a new Lenovo (AMD). The cursor size changed its size from normal to microscopic, depending on the application you hover over. Went back to X, no issues there.

Still can’t run Wayland on my system (Nvidia) at all.

Fwiw, my blog’s statistics say Linux is around 10% and I know a lot of browsers identify themselves as running on Windows when they’re not, so I wonder how it’s measured.

I didn’t downvote but probably people won’t sit through a long video when the points he’s making could be a short list. At least give a summary.

More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker.

So make things even harder to find? A classic menu bar is not clutter!

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

If you’re thinking what I’m thinking, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with beer.

You never tried installing Wine?

Tbf I ran it on my old phone with Android 8.1. I’m sure many people have old, still working phones they want to use for stuff

I got curious and yes, GL Tron works

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.

Wouldn’t it show the icon of an executable file and ask if you want to open it or execute it?

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.
