For those who use Wayland and autostart, don't forget to edit
/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
from KDE5: Session=plasmawayland
to Plasma6: Session=plasma
to confirm the exact name, check what is available under /usr/share/wayland-sessions/
if you're stuck, try pacman -Q | grep -i kde and pacman -Q | grep -i plasma and remove everything related, then fresh install plasma-meta or plasma group and it should work

Just finished the update, went surprisingly smoothly for me! I had to reconnect the wifi and it's caused a few minor theme/widget issues (which I was fully expecting) but overall I was basically fully back to running normally in like half an hour or so.
It actually resolved a couple of minor theme issues somehow too, so that's a bonus!
My only complaint so far is my fonts are all messed up because they removed the "Force DPI" setting completely but I managed to make it good enough by just making the fonts bigger. The UI doesn't scale with it, but at least it works and it's sharp.
I tried scaling at 120% and 125% and the sizing is good but the fonts are super blurry to the point it's more readable at 100% with no other changes, same as it's always been really.
Lots of small but annoying issues here. Nothing that really makes my desktop unusable, but hunting down plasma settings was not how I imagined spending my evening. So far not too impressed...
Another adventurer that updated to plasma 6 and the worst thing I noticed is the performance, this new plasma 6 is worst than version 5 on this aspect by now. I hope with the time it been solved
