For those who use Wayland and autostart, don't forget to edit
/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
from KDE5: Session=plasmawayland
to Plasma6: Session=plasma
to confirm the exact name, check what is available under /usr/share/wayland-sessions/
if you're stuck, try pacman -Q | grep -i kde and pacman -Q | grep -i plasma and remove everything related, then fresh install plasma-meta or plasma group and it should work

Just finished the update, went surprisingly smoothly for me! I had to reconnect the wifi and it's caused a few minor theme/widget issues (which I was fully expecting) but overall I was basically fully back to running normally in like half an hour or so.
It actually resolved a couple of minor theme issues somehow too, so that's a bonus!
Lots of small but annoying issues here. Nothing that really makes my desktop unusable, but hunting down plasma settings was not how I imagined spending my evening. So far not too impressed...
My only complaint so far is my fonts are all messed up because they removed the "Force DPI" setting completely but I managed to make it good enough by just making the fonts bigger. The UI doesn't scale with it, but at least it works and it's sharp.
I tried scaling at 120% and 125% and the sizing is good but the fonts are super blurry to the point it's more readable at 100% with no other changes, same as it's always been really.
Another adventurer that updated to plasma 6 and the worst thing I noticed is the performance, this new plasma 6 is worst than version 5 on this aspect by now. I hope with the time it been solved
