Cannot relate. At all.
Last friday I re-installed Arch with KDE this time instead of GNOME for a change, and in these two and a half days I've already encountered more bugs and crashes than I did the entire time I was on GNOME. Kinda regretting the decision already. All that with stock applets and widgets and shit that come bundled with the DE. I don't want to imagine what things would be like if I started to mess around with third party stuff.
Idk man, EndeavourOS on KDE has been amazing to me, even on Wayland. Even the plasma 5 to 6 upgrade has been ridiculously smooth. I have a feeling arch may not be the most unified distro to judge a DE on... Hope stuff stabilizes for you a bit. That's no fun. :(
If anything it's getting worse. Today I (unsuccessfully) spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the bottom panel's state won't persist between reboots. I don't even know what state it's reverting to. I never pinned Google chrome to that panel yet it appears there on every reboot while all my pins are gone. Some time was also wasted on rebuilding another panel that somehow broke and piled all of its widgets on top of each other and made them unclikable. There's also something seriously wrong with either the window manager or the compositor or both because on two occasions it sorta fused two windows together, producing a garbled mess that forced me to exit both applications and restart them.
I think I'll call this one a failure and go back to gnome as soon as I can. This really is not a good experience. Maybe in another two years I'll try KDE again. Last time I tried KDE it was much worse, so they're clearly getting better.
What in the world... I use KDE everywhere, we even use it many workstations at work and I've seen no such thing it's been smooth sailing. I hope whatever's causing this is nothing too serious because that's NOT normal... :(
I guess it's just a roll of the dice on how borked the config files in the repository package were that month.
