How do I reset plasma 6 to defaults?

I have recently upgraded to Plasma 6. It’s has been riddled with issues. One major issue is that when I let the PC sit for a while, the screen turns off (as it should), then the pc just either freezes indefinitely, or wakes up, but nothing is responsive. I can’t even enter my password to log in. For now, I have disabled auto...

@voracread I think ~/.config is the standard config file location on Linux (for apps that follow XDG standards) so it should also have config files for non-kde apps

Plasma 6 Release Candidate 1 has landed.

We are less than 50 days away from the final version of .

Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.

One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.

@Secret300 @kde I think KDE neon has editions for testing KDE software

Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?

Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

@Locutus @kde I think they said operating system because people coming from Windows might not know what a desktop environment is

KDE Start Search is slow

So my workflow is typically hit start -> cmd -> enter which I can usually do these 3 actions in less than 2 seconds on Windows. I’ve tried a dozen different distros on Wayland, X11, with and without the Nvidia proprietary drivers. KDE search seems to be too slow for me to do this though. Cinnamon, Gnome, Mate, and XFCE don’t...

@MJBrune @Ashiette I tried doing it as quickly as I can and it didn't work the first time (result appeared what looks like about 0.1-0.2s later) but it did work in subsequent attempts (even when looking for other apps)

If you look for an app and then for a different app, does it find it quickly? I suspect it might be reading the .desktop files lazily (meaning it only reads them the first time you look for something)
Edit: nvm ksycoca is there to prevent that

@Bro666 @croydon I think he meant that it should be added to the lemmy community's description (on some fedi software it appears as a normal account, or one with a group or bot label). It would probably be best if lemmy or Mastodon added something that labels it as a community or explains what a "group" is, but the description could also say it, like how the KDE subreddit's description starts with "Kreddit, the KDE Community on Reddit" (it's for a different reason but it could work).
