    Is there a way to install the latest Plasma to Debian stable, without breaking the OS too much or installing everything to /usr/local? The crashes when an external monitor is unplugged annoy me a lot.

      No. You could update to debian testing. But also there it will arrive in late summer.

      Debian is not made for having always the latest desktop environments. You should consider something like arch if you want to have the bleeding edge.

        Eeeh. Backporting the bugfix also seems unlikely. So in conclusion, I gotta build it myself. I don’t want bleeding edge, I want less bugs. Yeah, plasma_wayland works okay, but not with two monitors.

          Imo look into opensuse if you want newish stuff without living on the bleeding edge.

          Fedora can be an option too if you stick a version behind the latest

    Man, I just reported a huge bug on Wayland and I hope it gets fixed. I think plasma doesn’t like older AMD gpus and display ports. I have two 4k 27" monitors, one connected through HDMI and the other with DP. Every time the pc suspends and I then wake it up, the monitor with the DP switches to this very low 640x480 resolution that makes things massive and traps the mouse in that monitor. I’d have to fiddle around a little bit to change the display configurations from the panel to release the mouse so I can go to the other monitor and change the resolution back. It’s very annoying. That’s basically the last remaining issue I have with Wayland. :)
