Afaik they’re waiting for version xx.1 with bug fixes. Idk if GNOME is unstable in xx.0 and idk why it has such a special place on Arch but what I do know is that Plasma 6 is quite bad now with its 6.0.2 so I guess this delay is a good idea because I’m a GNOME user and I want stable experience
It’s already in extra-testing so I expect it to come soon, unless its dependency on util-linux-libs-2.40rc2, which is currently in core-testing, slows it down.
Release on Arch when?
KDE6 took a week or so, didn’t it?
GNOME on Arch is a special thing. Unlike KDE and other DEs, GNOME arrives in like 3-4 weeks after the official release
For my own learning and understanding, why does it take that long for GNOME on Arch?

The added benefit in the delay on Arch is that most maintained extensions will have already been made compatible by the time it hits the repos.
@GolfNovemberUniform @heygooberman Plasma 6.0.3 is out on Tuesday next week upstream and GNOME 46.1 is out sometime in April
