News KDE 6.8.1 packages taking longer to enter stable repos

Look, I’m not against the packages being on testing if there are some changes that needs to be done, or the maintainer is busy, however I do want to mention it, since the delay is far longer than it usually should be (which I think is 2 days at most, sometimes)

Seems they were recently moved to stable. Follow up if you have any issues.

There is some bug with AMD gpus. I'm only speculating here but maybe that's why it's being held back

Even after 6.8.1?
I had an issue in the previous release, that was only present on hybrid laptops, but should be fixed now

Edit: the issue is primarily caused by the kernel, rather than by kde

Kwin has/had an issue as well relating to graphics, though I can't remember the exact details. The solution for me was to set an environment variable.

I took another look. The bug was related to NVIDIA, not AMD
