Plasma 6.0 that’s currently shipped with NixOS stable is basically unusable if you want to do any kind of panel configuration. You know what I mean if you tried it.
Plasma 6.1 seems to have addressed many of those issues, but I’m not fluent enough with using Nix to know how to update my plasma config to 6.1. Is that possible? Is it something I’m supposed to be doing? Do people run Plasma 6.1?
Have some patience until [DO NOT MERGE] Plasma 6.1 beta by K900 · Pull Request #314371 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub is merged or cherry-pick it until then.
The Pull Request has been merged and KDE Plasma 6.1 is available on unstable (ex: search for kwin ).
Any idea if it will be back-ported in NixOS 24.05 ? Version 6.1 apparently fixes many bugs.
As 6.1 is a feature update it will not be backported
For future readers who just want plasma and don’t need version 6, replace:
services.desktopManager.plasma6.enable = true;
with:
services.xserver.desktopManager.plasma5.enable = true;
That way you don’t need to mess around with unstable.
