Bhibb The upgrade went great! I've noticed that after some time of using the blender package in our repo and an external monitor, kde 6 notifies me of an xwayland crash, specifically when blender closes. Nothing seems to go awry, but I thought I'd mention it.
TraceyC Teggs If your monitor does show the desktop after you get to the OS, there's nothing to worry about. As @WetGeek said, that simply means that it has not yet received the signal from the OS.
