@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Cool! Out of curiosity how does migrating from Plasma 5 to Plasma 6 work?

[-] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 7 points 9 months ago

Your distro will package it and it will be like any other update.

I run Debian (cries in late updates)

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Debian is stable and bug free. If you don't want to have issues you should stick with it.

If you want something newer you can install Fedora in Virtual manager or replace Debian with Fedora.

Debian stable doesn't ship our bugfix releases. It is not "stable" in the meaning that normal people use

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Its stable in the sense that it is unchanging and reliable. That means by the time it ships there shouldn't really be much in the way of bugs left. I personally can not stand bugs that's why I usually avoid KDE in favor of Gnome. Debian has been the only distro as of yet to be free of bugs from my perspective.

[-] Zamundaaa@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Debian ships the latest thing that's available at the time of tagging, and that is not bug free in any way or form. In the case of Debian 12 that's Plasma 5.27.5... There were 5 bugfix versions after that. People are experiencing known bugs on Debian stable, not no bugs.

[-] TDCN@feddit.dk 1 points 9 months ago

I understand and its also the reason i now run Debian. I want stable, but to me, stable does not mean old. New can be more stable and also be better in many ways and kde seems to do a fantastic job. To me stable should mean the newest we got that is running without issues for everyone. So if new does not have any issues for anyone and runs smoothly it should get adopted asap so everyone can enjoy it and it becoms the new stable.
