KDE Plasma 6 made it to Arch about a week before Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed is also still using Xorg by default for Plasma 6. That said both had it in their repos withing 2 weeks of release. Is there some history here for Gnome on Arch?

Seriously Linus memes must have 20k of the remaining 35k users.
I just don't think KDE will be worth it on plasma until KDE 6 / Qt 6. Basic components like SDDM supporting Wayland still have to be solved before KDR provides a first class experience. Try messing around with environments like sway, Hyprland, and Gnome the stability difference is night and day compared to KDE.
There is still way too much instability and too many paper cuts on KDE Wayland. IMO if you have waited this long just wait for their Qt6 release. X11 will remain the best supported experience for KDE 5.
It's the best of both worlds. Young, tight knit community with a mature UX.
I couldn't live without one these days. I personally use Bitwarden. I have tried most of the other manager suggested in this thread. They each their own benefits. I would recommend one of the hosted services for most people (1password, Bitwarden, not LastPass). I came to prefer Bitwarden for their combination of features and openness. I have self hosted it in the past, but these days just use their hosted service.
There are a lot of side benefits to using one besides just remembering your usernames and passwords for you too.
- It lets you use catch-all emails if you have your own email domain
- allows you to give services their own address to track abuse
- makes you more resistant to someone taking your leaked credentials from one site and using it for another
- easier spam filtering
- Most password managers support random password generation
- Saving things that aren't logins
- Family member's SSNs and DL numbers
- Credit cards
- Wifi passwords
- Gate codes
- Sharing always up to date passwords and other secrets with people (for hosted options)
- 2FA is easier
Wayland has a mouse capture bug in proton / wine. It particularly seems to be an issue in FPS games. That may contributing to slower adoption for Linux gamers.
