  • Dust0741 my apologies. As others rightly pointed out I didn’t answer appropriately and deleted the postt… You won’t be able to get the latest kde on Debian. You could look at Sid or Testing but I don’t know if they ship that. I dont use Sid or Testing so I couldn’t help you if they do.





  • For me it’s the ability to use my hardware as long as I want after a tech company’s EOL. When I was on Windows 7 and it reached EOL my machine was unusable. Couldn’t go back because I waited to long. Then I updated my machine and Windows 10’s EOL was set and again, machine will be not be safe to use. I switched to Linux before that release date but the way Microsoft does with these EOL dates, for me isn’t sustainable. I dont need to buy a new machine every few years. I want my machines to be a usable and secure for as long as I want it to with minimal impact to my finances and stop simply just throwing old machines away. And if I run into a distro that my machine isn’t beefy enough for, I have distro-hopped around enough to be able to go to something else but still be in the Linux-verse.

    The stuff like, better for privacy, open source etc., those benefits came after.
