I am currently running Plasma 6.1.2 and I am dealing with a few different crashes that dump my desktop back to sddm. My system is ~arch and that has never really been a problem but in this case it is hard to be productive on this desktop. When I am being productive I am constantly nervous that I'm going to lose the session at any moment. A few weeks ago I tried to keep my system from updating to Plasma 6 but I found it too difficult to do so and I decided to just go ahead and let it update. Now I'm wondering if there is any way back. I keep nightly incremental backups of my config files so I can restore my previous configuration files. What can I do, short of disabling ~arch, to go back to Plasma 5? Thanks.
