Thanks for the heads up.
KDE isn't part of my bailiwick but a developer waxing enthusiastic
convinced me to check it out. I guess it has undergone a decade long
upgrade and the change to QT6 required some major rewrites.
Possibility
of another environment than X11/Gnome was also a factor so I decided
to
try the Kool Aid.
I've been looking for *any* distro that had picked it up already. It
hasn't gained much traction from what I could find. I had no idea
that
fedora had quietly adopted it and it was sitting there under my nose.
:/
You haven't been paying attention :-) This has been repeatedly
discussed on the Fedora KDE list, where these things are usually to be
found. The adoption of KDE6 in F40, particularly the demotion of X11 as
default in favour of Wayland, has been a favourite topic.
KDE6 was only finalised recently, so I expect distros to come online in
due course. Fedora being bleeding-edge, it's of course one of the
first.
