I'm really wanting to run the plasma 6 beta to be able to help find and fix bugs. How would also like the option to be able to switch back to 5.27 if i run into a larger issue. I ideally I would be able to switch back just from sddm. Does anyone have experience doing this? or guidance as to where I could start looking.

I use arch btw :)

I have plasma 5.27 built and I can switch between the two with sdm, or replace my current session with the newly built one. Unless there's something strange about the new version, dependance conflicts, etc, it should work the same.
