Welcome to a new issue of This Week in Plasma. And it’s going to be a big one, folks! This week, a familiar pattern played out: people upgraded to Plasma 6.8 and found all the bugs that nobody reported during the beta period, and the Plasma team worked incredibly hard to fix them! You’ll see the result below: tons of bug fixes.

    This release of plasma (6.8 and 6.8.1) has been buggy for me.

    dot-0 and dot-1 releases have always been on the more buggy side, simply because several bigger distributions tend to aim for dot-2 or dot-3 releases and rolling release users are the early adopters who do the bug reporting.

    I’m having random freezing, issues with suspending the pc, memory issues and many others that for the first time in like 5 years

    I suspect you’re on a rolling release distribution and something broke in general. How would a DE cause memory issues?

      I AM on a rolling release, Cachy OS, but a desktop is not immune to memory leaks. Plasma can absolutely cause memory issues. Not vetting CachyOS because I haven’t tested personally to know for a fact it’s the distro, not the DE, but DEs can absolutely cause memory issues.
