Maybe try getting it running in a container. Just shutdown your current display manager and then create a Fedora container with everything passed though. Theoretically it should work but I’ve never tried. There might be a permissions issue.

Compile the entire thing from source, manually install it in /opt, manually satisfy all its dependencies and create necessary simlinks and PATH variables.

And no.

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.

Debian doesn’t package anything that could be considered “latest”. Bookworm won’t even get to Plasma 6 in it’s lifecycle.

Then you didnt answer to the post but secretly put your own voice into an answer which seems unrelated

It’s almost like the post you replied to was asking for “latest”.

it’s Debian “latest” doesn’t even enter the conversation (without a lot of garbage and pain, or flatpak)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
