From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

PSA: Update to Plasma 6.3 can make Wayland session unusable if you have configured monitor ICC profiles (bugs.kde.org)

Update: Bug fixed in Plasma 6.3.1

Just posting this since I spent over an hour trying to figure out why I couldn't open my desktop today.. After booting and logging in I got a black screen. Switched to a terminal but did not see any obvious errors in the logs.

Not fixed for Fedora 41 KDE yet, so I installed plasma-workspace-x11 to use in the meanwhile. Anyone who hasn't updated to 6.3 yet could probably change their display settings to not use ICC profiles to avoid it.___

Damn, so that was the issue. I spent 2h trying around with different packages I suspected to cause an error during start. Then I desperately moved my .config dir out of the way to rule out an incompatible config and lo and behold... it worked. I then moved it back and tried to delete configs more finegranular. After a few iterations without success I just removed almost all kde and plasma related configs and reconfigured everything from scratch. I should have scrolled through my feed earlier 😁

It was surprisingly difficult to find, the majority of comments about 6.3 were people saying it was working great, but I guess most people don't use ICC profiles for their monitors.
