The upgrade on my main Sid PC went surprisingly smooth \o/
FTR: The upgrade which I reported previously on was on my laptop.

These were the *only* things I needed to do:
- Reset SDDM's theme (similar to laptop)
- Redefine several shortcuts (which seems to be a recurring 'issue' when
  having such a large upgrade; no biggy)
- Clicking links in Quassel no longer works. I noticed this too on my
  laptop. Scott Kitterman filed a bug *5* years ago for wayland support
  in Quassel: https://bugs.quassel-irc.org/issues/1534 and nothing has
  happened since. Also the upstream repo seems to be a wasteland for a
  while, so I was already planning to dump Quassel. Guess I should
  accelerate that.

But those are really the only things I've found thus far :-O

Well done KDE team :-D

Cheers,
