What are you even talking about? Manjaro branches give everyone the choice of how bleeding edge they want to be. You want 6.1 you can easily have it, but no, you’d rather complain and complain and complain.
Says who? You? It’s not your decision to make. If you don’t like it then again you have the choice, there are plenty of other Linux distros out there. Don’t forget to ask for your money back on your way out.
I see this kind of entitled behaviour every release, and it never fails to p155 me off!

Switching branches, defeats the whole point of Manjaro. The argument is that the currently shipped Plasma version 6.0.5 is not perfect and 6.1 should be better, regardless of whether it contains bugs… there’s always going to be bugs, but if the maintainers wanted bug free, they should have stuck with 5.27! Now that 6.0 has been released, 6.1 must be released!
I didn’t miss that, it’s irrelevant. Plasma issues with an unreleased piece of hardware should not affect the current stable release. And again, back to my point about 6.0 having been released, meaning that the current stable release has the same issues with this piece of hardware… so how is there any point in holding updates because they have compatibility issues with unreleased hardware when the current stable release has those same issues??
There is no good, logical reason that Plasma releases are being held back and no one has been successful in bringing any real argument against that statement.
We stuck with 5.27 for quite a while, and we held back 6.0 for at least another two months after it was released from upstream, exactly because 6.0.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.0.3 and 6.0.4 still had severe bugs.
6.0.5 solved most of those bugs — at the very least, the severe ones. And when 6.1.x solves its bugs, then it will percolate down through Testing into Stable.
Do not forget that we sell hardware with Manjaro preinstalled. We cannot afford to ship hardware with a broken operating system on it. We’re not Microsoft, you know?
No it doesn’t, the ability to switch branch is one of manjaro’s features…and helps to keep the stable branch stable. Putting something in stable before the maintainers think it’s ready defeats the point of having a stable branch.
You have a choice, switch to unstable for 6.1, or wait.
By that logic unstable is better…so start using it.
Well it depends.
If you follow the Schedules/Plasma 6 - KDE Community Wiki you will see when what will get released upstream. If you check our branches you will see in which of them we have which version of Plasma: Branch compare for Manjaro. Most of our developers are on the unstable branch.
With Linux you can decide when to update. If you see a lot of movement with package update, you simply don’t update and maybe follow our mailing list to get real-time updates when which package land where: The manjaro-packages Archives.
You can even test the new Cosmic Desktop Environment with our new distribution: Manjaro Immutable Out Now for Community Testing.
Getting out a good user experience is hard to achieve. So far most of our users appreciate what we do and how we do it.
I’m sure we will see a groundhog day thread like this for 6.2 series of Plasma. My answer might be then: Maybe in 2025 Spring …
Maybe the subject needs its own category … 
(would certainly be easier to tidy up after the event!).
And to make the topic always with the correct title, some scripting is due. Something like:
while true do
rename topic “What’s the holdup for Plasma 6.$subversion?”
spam spam spam
subversion=$($subversion+1)
done
Maybe also one to add the tag? (See above) 
I have recently tested it on Endeavour. Log-out-Session-Restore I could not get to work on Wayland, Save-Session-Manually-Session-Restore might be working, I just tested once - which worked.
