The changes are great and all but my only concern is VRR.

I have AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE and the integrated AMD Radeon 780M in the laptop and have no problems with VRR here.

I can't imagine how good it would be on 6.5 ! But i don't really know of a stable distro with an upto date version of KDE?

Try openSUSE Leap, KDE Neon or Kubuntu. They get latest KDE Plasma and other software either normaly (KDE Neon) or through backport repositories you can add. openSUSE Slowroll is also an option if you are a bit more adventurous.

Yay it finally made it to openSUSE Tumbleweed. Installed on the rest of my PCs/laptops and also working just fine. Was also available before for KDE Neon and Fedora. And I hear Arch also already has it.

Nice. Love the design. Any my regular yearly donation should also already be in. Well deserved for such awesome desktop and software.

Installed on my openSUSE Tumbleweed and Gentoo computers and so far Plasma 6.2 working great 👍

It's already in openQA for openSUSE Tumbleweed, so if it passes all the tests it will arrive in a few hours. Keeping fingers crossed.

Anyone else having the problem with the new kernel that graphics in games/benchmarks is quite a lot slower (about 15-20%) then with older kernel (I used 6.10.7 before I upgraded). This is with Powercolor Hellhound AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE? Even Einstein@Home GPU tasks take about 20% longer now (28 min with previous kernel to about 34 min now).

Quoting: Purple Library GuyOn the store page it's talking about Euros. So is this a Europe-only store or do they sell to for instance North America as well? Because this is just the sort of thing that would be a good laptop for me; I like the slim aluminum schtick, I like that it's got AMD graphics . . . it seems pretty nice. But I'm in Canada, so.

They do have more information about shipping [External Link]. They do ship to North America.

Awesome. I hope in the future they also launch some more full-AMD businesses-focused laptops, that are more slim and with better display and battery life.

Already tried a development version about a week ago and it is surprisingly useful and not as bugy as expected. Really looking forward to it. Maybe around NY holidays I will switch again to using beta/development version to help out with hunting and fixing the remaining bugs and make it even better for the official release.

I also had no multi-monitor issues with KDE KWin for a long time. I would say the support for that is working much better with KWin than with WMs in other DEs I tried. Not to mention the mess that is multi-monitor on closed/proprietary OSes (these really drive me crazy at work). But I started getting an annoying problem when I bought Marantz SR5015 AVR and routed one display through it. The problem here is that when you put AVR to sleep it in a way takes itself out of the PC → AVR → Display chain so it becomes PC → Display. And in reverse when you take it out of sleep it inserts itself again. And when these two transitions happen (from/to AVR sleep mode) is when I first got an issue with display management with KDE KWin. All the windows from the display that is connected through AVR are just moved to some other display when it transitions and windows are never restored to that display after the transition is done. And this is the only problem I have with KDE Kwin so far. And yeah I was also always using AMD GPUs. so maybe all the problems are just with crappy NVidia closed drivers that are really bad with integrating and interacting with normal GNU/Linux graphics stack.
