        Endeavour OS is based on Arch and therefore a rolling release distro. So Plasma 6 should come with regular updates, right?

          Yes. It probably won’t be available for install tomorrow, but I’m hoping its a pretty seamless upgrade once it lands in the repos.

            Speaking of seamless, I heard Plasma 6 is gonna come with Wayland as a default now. Do you think it’ll automatically switch you over or is it just for fresh installs?

              My guess (and hope) is it’ll be just for fresh installs. That’s a big change and could break things for some people. But we’ll see!

              I might give Wayland a try, but likely stay in X for a while yet. I have a little bit of software (like KeepassXC) that doesn’t quite have full Wayland support yet.

            it shouldn’t really matter for me anyway, the laptop i installed endeavour on is an old half broken hp pavilion that i rarely ever charge at all. i’m still excited to try it though
