my system is currently on Plasma 6.2.5 and i am curious when Plasma 6.3 will be rolled out in Manjaro?
Welcome to the Forum!
Plasma 6.3 is currently only in Unstable Branch at present; it should filter down in a few weeks or so.
If you wish to use the very latest version now, you will need to switch to that. ![]()
Provided that there aren’t any serious showstoppers, that is. ![]()
Switch to Manjaro Edge (unstable)
Plasma 6.3 was sync’ed to unstable 2025-02-11T23:00:00Z
I am likely a loner when it comes to Manjaro and Plasma stability - it rarely pose any issues. But that is just me … ![]()
I understand that Plasma 6.3 is expected to reach the Manjaro Stable branch in mid-March coinciding with the release of the Manjaro 25.0 stable installer ISO’s (for official editions).
This was noted in the first paragraph of the Stable Update 2025-02-04 announcement thread:
Your topic has been moved from the Support category to somewhere more appropriate; Non-technical Questions.

Apparently it has now made it into Manjaro Testing as of today. ![]()
Well, this is a support forum, so there will always be someone going… ![]()

I,m running the Testing Branch, it is at Plasma 6.3
Plasma 6.3 is in Unstable and now (as of today) Testing.
You might see it with the next big update; in other words it’s not far off but it’s “ready when it’s ready”. ![]()

That’s just you - if you don’t abuse it, and you don’t have any unfortunate configurations, then it’s brilliant.
I abuse it, and have unfortunate configurations, so it’s slightly riskier for me:
- Klassy (AUR)
- Easystroke (AUR)
- Diigital clock colours need manual editing
/usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.digitalclock/contents/ui/DigitalClock.qmlmerging with my edited version (backed up asDigitalClock.colours.qml)
No Plasma 6.3?
Unstable and Testing already… waiting for Stable.
Same. KDE rarely causes issues.
6.3 I want more than most other revs as it fixes the joystick issues as of late. If you hook up a non-gamepad controller (ie A real joystick), it won’t show in KDE game controller. 6.3 fixes that issue that 6.x brought with it. All this used to work fine in 5.x.

And yes I run Stable. Works fine for gaming. Just this one issue…
