Getting the latest updates of KDE on Debian

I’m relatively new on Linux and I’ve been using Debian Bookworm, but there’s a dumb question, how can I get the latest updates of KDE? I’ve seen a lot of new features and patches in Plasma 5.27.4, but Debian repositories still uses Plasma 5.27.2 (even on SID)

I don’t know if there’s another repository that I can add to the APT List to get the latest KDE Features

This is probably a better question for a Debian-specific forum. In KDE we don’t have any control over Debian’s release schedule.

Debian is known for shipping older packages to improve stability. It may be worth looking into another distribution, like Debian Unstable or Fedora, if you’d like fresher packages.

Unfortunately, Debian is in hard freeze atm and thus will be outdated until bookworm releases and unstable ( sid ) opens up again. There are many options out there for Latest and greatest KDE including KDE Neon, but for Debian proper you will have to wait. I have always wanted to create a Neon derivative using Debian as the base, but time has not been on my side. Someday.

Well, you could give https://siduction.org/ a spin. Haven’t looked what exactly they’re packing these days though.
