I currently have a quite stable state.
So for anyone who wants to to an apt dist-upgrade before the Qt 5.6.1
transition, now I think can be a good time to do it. I don´t know what others
experience, but my desktop is stable enough already. I found desktop effects
where deactivated, but I simply activated them again and they work okay. Only
little annoyance is that my main control panel at the side doesn´t autohide
anymore. Otherwise I am happy with the current state. Its all really stable
and slic for me. Of cause mileages of others may vary.
If you want to play it safer than that, I recommend to wait longer tough, to
let things settle. Of course, Qt 5.6.1 may some soon, within next 1-2 weeks.
Thanks
