            Bug ID: 497552
           Summary: Upgrading to KDE6 overrides users configs
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: david.cortes.rivera at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Updating KDE from 5 to 6 forcibly changes my user configurations for several
things.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a KDE version from the 5 series.
2. Configure it to use single-click for opening files and folders, and to use
the X11 session.
3. Upgrade all KDE-related software to version 6.
4. Restart the computer.

OBSERVED RESULT
My user configurations are overwritten without my consent: files and folders
are set to open with a double click instead; and the default session is
wayland, which brings up lots of issues if my config was for X11 before (e.g.
it interprets cursor sizes differently, some fonts look blurry with resolution
scaling, activates different desktop effects by default, lots of other things
broken under it, among others).

EXPECTED RESULT
Should not overwrite my user configurations without asking.
