I honestly can't wait to move to Plasma 6 when it releases, I've had more and more issues with Gnome. Dash to panel feels like it's getting more buggy and I'm not a fan of my extensions breaking each update.
Running rootless xorg recently got my Plasma to black screen after a min of launching sometimes, couldn't switch to a tty (I could press the power button and it worked so ig only the GPU driver crashed or something) the problem most likely only aroused when I adjusted sddm settings from Plasma's, which created a new sddm configuration file, removed rootless xorg config and it seems to have fixed it

Think I read a short while ago that they believe it to be in a usable state already. Have to constrain myself from not giving it a spin right now.

So I assume 5.27 is gonna get a point release or two before February to get in critical bug fixes. Else it's gonna be a while between 5.27 and 6.0. ;)

We are already at 5.27.7

I know. 5 months without a bug fix release is just a long time. :)

What bugs do affect you directly on Plasma?

Currently, not really any, but I am sure lots of bugs and papercuts affect lots of people more than me.
