Oooh this sounds awesome! How long does it typically take to get pushed out to the distros? I'm using Nobara at the moment.

It was just merged to NixOS. Should be on unstable in a few days...

Thanks, I'm new to Linux so don't understand the process. How long until a stable release typically?

Depends on the specific distro and their upgrades policies.

Usually with normal distributions you get an update to a new major version (e.g. from Plasma 6.0 to Plasma 6.1, or some versions can be skipped) when a new version of the distribution gets released, and in the mean time you only get bug fix releases (e.g. 6.0.x to 6.0.y). Sometimes some distributions also make special backports available to bring new major versions to same distro version.

With rolling release distributions (e.g. openSUSE Tumbleweed) you get new major releases in a few days after they are released.

So you need to check with Nobara how they handle this.

Got it. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Oh excellent! This willl help towards making OpenBSD 7.6 a usable home desktop system with having KDE 6 and now Wayland is implementing support for OpenBSD.
