And there are also problems with nouveau https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238988
This might explain some peoples perceptions of stability problems with Plasma 5 lately
Just sum up users using intel and nouveau drivers, that's probably most people using Plasma 5 in TW (or at least half of them). And then add the recent Nfs breakage, the GCC5gate, etc. For me, all that is expected in Tumbleweed. There is a reasonable explanation for each problem. But we cannot say that the instability feeling is just made up by some people out of nothing. That's why, in my opinion, we are going a little bit too far in advertising Tumbleweed as "fully tested", making it sound like something ready for the average Joe for use in production systems. If you are using TW, you will get the latest and brightest but you are expected to find some troubles and you are expected to collaborate in tracking them down (with bug reports, at least). Which is a fair trade, as long as expectations are clear for everybody. Reusing the Tumbleweed name probably didn't help in setting those expectations correctly, either.
And also why I (as a GNOME user) have not experienced any problems..
Yes. For many KDE users, TW has not being a nice place to be for the last month or so. Not a fault of the KDE team (they cannot do anything to prevent conflicts with drivers coming from upstream), but still a reality. Cheers

There are many tumbleweed users that do not read mail lists. A fair number reads the forum instead.
