From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Afaik they're waiting for version xx.1 with bug fixes. Idk if GNOME is unstable in xx.0 and idk why it has such a special place on Arch but what I do know is that Plasma 6 is quite bad now with its 6.0.2 so I guess this delay is a good idea because I'm a GNOME user and I want stable experience
The added benefit in the delay on Arch is that most maintained extensions will have already been made compatible by the time it hits the repos.
Don't think it's bad? It seems to have been a great release with Plasma 6. Don't have any issues myself and haven't seen anything major. But maybe I missed it.
Idk about your hardware but on mine it's not good. There were even full desktop crashes (the ones that make systemd boot log appear and only switching to a different session can make the system usable again). Btw I noticed issues on both Xorg and Wayland smh. Can't remember them now though
Yeah it can vary of course. It works good on my machine. Amd graphics.
@GolfNovemberUniform @heygooberman Plasma 6.0.3 is out on Tuesday next week upstream and GNOME 46.1 is out sometime in April
