A recent discussion on Fedora forums raised the need to logout and back after a KDE version update. I've noticed that the system becomes unstable, last time I got a plasma crash, and others reported similar things. Is this common or just a few people? It was suggested that a bug should be raised for it.
What is so surprising about that? :-)
You are changing the whole system behind the carpet and you expect it to just work?
Mostly yes, I do. This isn't Windows.
I'm thankful that it manages things well enough for me to always finish whatever I was doing. However, my thinking is that if I start anything new that calls one of the new packages I am asking for a conflict with the old packages that I'm still running. It simply isn't worth the risk. And after all, a logout is nowhere near the same as a Windows reboot.
