With only 91 days left before launch, today we are releasing the 1st Beta of Plasma 6.

https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/beta1/

This is the time when we call on all testers to download and install it, and stress-test all its features.

On the one hand, eeeeeeee it’s plasma 6, gotta get the beta.

On the other hand, I can’t brick my Linux install otherwise I’m screwed (running fedora asahi, btrfs on 16k page size causes severe limitations when it comes to getting files out of a system)

Do not try this on your production computer unless it is on another partition or virtual machine.

You should probs not flash it on your main machine

@Kidplayer_666 @WeLoveCastingSpellz Create a btrfs snapshot of your current install. You can just revert if something breaks. Or doesn't this work on Asahi yet?

No idea to be completely honest. Gotta read the goddamn manual…
