Hey all,
If anybody is curious about KDE's new Plasma6 on Wayland you can install Fedora-KDE-Live from rawhide to get a sneak-peak at Fedora 41. Spoiler alert: it's nice.

It is already part of fedora 40. What is it that the rawhide builds providing that is not in f40?

Thanks for the heads up.
KDE isn't part of my bailiwick but a developer waxing enthusiastic convinced me to check it out. I guess it has undergone a decade long upgrade and the change to QT6 required some major rewrites. Possibility of another environment than X11/Gnome was also a factor so I decided to try the Kool Aid.
I've been looking for *any* distro that had picked it up already. It hasn't gained much traction from what I could find. I had no idea that fedora had quietly adopted it and it was sitting there under my nose. :/

You haven't been paying attention :-) This has been repeatedly discussed on the Fedora KDE list, where these things are usually to be found. The adoption of KDE6 in F40, particularly the demotion of X11 as default in favour of Wayland, has been a favourite topic.
KDE6 was only finalised recently, so I expect distros to come online in due course. Fedora being bleeding-edge, it's of course one of the first.
