I honestly can't wait to move to Plasma 6 when it releases, I've had more and more issues with Gnome. Dash to panel feels like it's getting more buggy and I'm not a fan of my extensions breaking each update.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Think I read a short while ago that they believe it to be in a usable state already. Have to constrain myself from not giving it a spin right now.
So I assume 5.27 is gonna get a point release or two before February to get in critical bug fixes. Else it's gonna be a while between 5.27 and 6.0. ;)
We are already at 5.27.7
I know. 5 months without a bug fix release is just a long time. :)
What bugs do affect you directly on Plasma?
Running rootless xorg recently got my Plasma to black screen after a min of launching sometimes, couldn't switch to a tty (I could press the power button and it worked so ig only the GPU driver crashed or something) the problem most likely only aroused when I adjusted sddm settings from Plasma's, which created a new sddm configuration file, removed rootless xorg config and it seems to have fixed it
Currently, not really any, but I am sure lots of bugs and papercuts affect lots of people more than me.
