KDE neon Plasma 6 ISOs
KDE neon unstable edition is running Plasma 6 and is your ideal way to test the next version of our lightweight but powerful Linux desktop.
Currently it looks near identical to the Plasma 5 builds (hopefully a banner will be added shortly).
One obvious bug is visible in the panel above where items which should be aligned to the right are not, that’s easy to work around until it gets fixed. There’s many more bugs but considering this is an early port using unreleased frameworks it’s mostly useable, especially now the worst of the overlapping kf5/kf6 packages are sorted.
So take care, don’t give it to your friends or family, but do give it a test and let us know what breaks.

KDE neon Unstable Edition Now Includes KDE Plasma 6.0 (WIP)
Work on KDE Plasma 6 is well underway and the first stable release of it is expected to be released …Well, when it’s ready – but likely sometime later this year.
But if you’re keen to muck in and try it out ahead of then you can download KDE neon unstable edition. This is an Ubuntu 22.04 LTS based “not a distro” distro whose latest ISOs include KDE Plasma 6.0 and its assorted libraries and frameworks.
Now, I must stress that KDE Plasma 6 is a work in progress. By using it you’re liable to encounter instability, breakage, bugs, etc. KDE neon unstable has a high churn rate (i.e. you’ll be installing lots of updates, regularly) so it’s not suited for use on the laptop you’re writing your dissertation on, etc.
