Noob question here: when KDE 6 is released, when would I then see it as available in my Ubuntu 22 / 23 app store for download? Right away or years later?
Usually major desktop environment updates are saved for new major OS updates. So you’d probably have to wait until the next major Ubuntu release. If you’re on LTS, that may be years. If you’re on the latest release, it will probably be less than a year.
24.04 won’t have Plasma 6, but 24.10 will. In other words, fall 2024.
Or you can use KDE Neon, which is basically Ubuntu LTS, but with the newest Plasma.
Just use Debian testing. There it will arrive in Spring.
Old Ubuntu? No sir!
