I have recently upgraded to Plasma 6. It’s has been riddled with issues. One major issue is that when I let the PC sit for a while, the screen turns off (as it should), then the pc just either freezes indefinitely, or wakes up, but nothing is responsive. I can’t even enter my password to log in. For now, I have disabled auto suspend and turn off screen and all that. I suspend it manually when I am done working. I really don’t want to reinstall, as I have had this set up for over a year and I will need to do a ton of work to get it back working. I do have root and home partitions separated, and I can reinstall, but if I absolutely had to. Is there anything I can do to remove all of plasma 5 leftover things without breaking things? Is there such thing as resetting plasma to its defaults without reinstalling? PS. I have submitted several bug reports and I will get back at it when I have time

I would try this thread on the EndeavourOS forum. I imagine that resetting your plasma config is mostly going through ~/.config and cleaning out anything you don’t need.
Is there any particular reason you’re sticking with X11? I get the impression that there are less issues with wayland on Plasma 6.
I’ll try that. Thank you. I’m having issues on Wayland and some apps I use daily don’t work there unfortunately :/
Edit:
I ran this command
sudo pacman -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)and it removed over 1GB of crap. Made a backup before doing that. I’ll reboot and see if it killed my system. LolIf your problems persist I would look into graphic (card) drivers, from my (very limited) experience issues with sleep/suspend/wake usually mean the drivers do something wrong (and maybe downgrading solves the problem?) I’m on NVDIA though …
I have all AMD. Done with Nvidia for life until they open source their shit and straight up support Linux. Running that orphaned packages cleaning command seems to help a little. I’ll test it for a while and see. It did remove a bunch of Qt5/kde5 stuff
