Ive been wanting to upgrade from Plasma 5 to 6 for some time, but I don't want to manually upgrade, risking breaking everything.
So, does anyone know when they will release Manjaro with KDE Plasma 6?

I don't know
But archinstall now installs KDE 6 correctly. Just saying

archinstall is the best. I've been using it out of laziness for a while and it's downright amazing.

Seems to be on
unstabletesting, so shouldnt be too longLimitless_screaming@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y
It has been on unstable since Arch had it. Unstable is just mirroring Arch repos. So it wouldn't give you any idea of when the update will reach stable.

What? I've been running it for a while. Wayland was pretty borked (couldn't figure out how to make it not be 640x480!), but then I have an NVidia card and I believe that's standard

Considering the KDE has normally been their flagship edition, I'm wager their working out the final touches.

That's something they didn't handle all too well imo. They seem to be able to detect incompatible stuff, so it would have been quite easy to help you clean it up. Finding all the places things are stored after they just disappeared from Settings was a bit of a pain.

Your question is kind of confusing, KDE does not do anything specifically with Manjaro, I assume that Manjaro users have to wait for upstream (Arch BTW) to mark it as stable, so if you keep your eyes peeled for Arch releases of Plasma, I'm sure you'll have an idea of a timeline.

Arch already shipped Plasma 6 for a while. Doesn't translate directly to Manjaro though, due to their different way of handling updates.

Reason why I jumped ship. Manjaro is not Arch. If you want Arch with a GUI installer and nice defaults, go with Endeavour or Cachy.

I went with endeavour.
Arch is already on 6.0.4. I'd say we're five weeks into plasma 6. Manjaro is holding it back unusually long.

Tbf, Plasma 6.0.0 was not exactly bug free. Then again, Plasma 6.0.1 was the first release on Arch and for me, it didn't break anything. Only some UI issues and occasional (although never fatal) crashes.
