π a freudian slip
Why do you include the CC link in all of your comments...?
It's a phase
I gotta say and it feels weird to but I'm happy Arch are spending a bit longer testing these days. When I used to run it updates just felt rushed into the repo so Arch got it first.
Getting plasma 6 a week after it drops is still βbleeding edgeβ when the alternative is a couple months

Seriously, the learning curve of nixOS is still... exhausting. Couldn't get it to run with plasma 6 and wayland and the documentation is so incomplete.
Edit: Typo
That's unfortunately true. There's a community effort to document stuff without going through the lengthy process of getting it approved by overworked maintainers: https://nixlang.wiki
Feel free to contribute your learnings there.
Are you starting fresh or did it work with another DE? Might help in tracking down the problem
Fresh install on a VM. Was a bit confused that the default was Xorg. Changing both to wayland and to Plasma 6 was too complicated for me.
Edit: Typo
With plasma 6, you need
services.xserver.displayManager.defaultSession = "plasma";
instead of " plasmawayland", since wayland has become the default
But do I still need all that xserver.enabled = true business?

Couldn't Arch users just install it through the Nix Package manager?
NixOS users install KDE using a NixOS config option, as there's a lot of configuration needed to make KDE run beyond just installing the binaries.
Can't you just build from source of you want it? Like kde has pretty good docs for this.
It was also already in Arch's KDE-unstable repo. I've been using Plasma 6 for like 3 months.
Compiling source code tends to get messy when you decide to remove it from your system. Also, you'll have to manually update it, any package manager will be unaware of it and can't do anything with it anyway. You'll also be responsible for dealing with conflicts with other software or dependency issues. That's why we have repos. Someone else did all that work already.

fun fact: you could add the extra-testing to repo to get it the first day
Considering all of my theming and several of my apps have broken today, and that Iβve had two crashesβ¦ Iβm glad they took longer.

@onlinepersona@programming.dev not really about this post, but i see that you have a license link in all your comments. Just curious, do you copy-paste that every time or do you have some automated setup?
I do copy paste it. KDE has a tool called klipper that allows to have a clipboard history, so hitting Super+V brings up a dropdown and I can select it. The effort is therefore minimal.
Consider using the KDE keyboard shortcut tools to set up a permanent paste keybind instead of using the history.
For example, I have a keybind that sends a known mouse movement input, which I use to set that known mouse input to always correspond to ten centimeters of on-screen movement.
Using a keybind would remove the need to ever select the right item from the history, and reduce the clutter in it for copy-pasting other things.
Oh hey, I thanks for the hint. I hadn't thought of that!
Looks like there was a bug in KDE5 (KDE6 is on another PC) and I had to follow instructions on this stackoverflow.
They removed legacy font based DPI scaling. I hate it. Nothing looks right π
