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.

How long until this trickles down into the major distros?
It will reach Slackware about 6 months before the heat death of the universe.
Fedora 40 (April) should have it I think
It's currently in Arch Testing.
It's not hard to install from testing actually, may give it a shot..
However, one should first read through https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/official_repositories#Testing_repositories and consider whether it is really worth the risk.
For my part, I will simply wait until Plasma 6 arrives in the official package sources.
Yeah I hope it's quick. Really fun upgrade.
If I had to guess, I would say that the updates to Plasma 6 will be offered at the end of the week or in the course of next week. But I'm not an Arch developer, so that's really a guess.
I tried it, but it didn't let me use X11 so I switched back, and the downgrade wrecked my system so incredibly badly that I'm currently trying to restore from a backup.
Same. And then I wait a day or two to see if there are any major issues. I do the same for Nvidia updates. I mean I could also just roll back if anything happens, but why bother?
It's just been merged to master for NixOS. Next stable would be 24.05
