The first alpha was basically unusable for me (not complaining, as it's expected for an alpha). But from the little I could see it's very promising. Will probably give this 4th alpha a go on Tumbleweed.
It froze a lot when attempting simple things like moving a window. It also completely crashed frequently. I found a lot of amdgpu related errors in the logs. It just didn't play nice with my hardware and maybe kernel version. YMMV of course.

Why though ?
I've been using it since before the first alpha and it has been surprisingly stable.

Alpha bugs and all, it's been totally usable. Once it's out of Alpha it's likely to be the only DM I use.
