A new ‘app store’ is expected to ship as part of Ubuntu 23.10 when it’s released in October — and it’ll debut with a notable change to DEB support.

          Debian 12 shipped with the latest kde plasma version, but the distro is designed to be stable, with a capital S. The packages will not update until the version does.

          Flatpaks are a great way to get modern software on a stable OS like debian. If neon has a flatpak version, it would be a good answer.

          You could check backports.

          I don’t usually need the absolute latest so I’m fine waiting for stuff to reach testing.

            Sounds like you’re introducing me to some 2 girls 1 cup type shit, but I’ll look it up. Is it still maintained?

      I’m thinking pop os or just boring plain debian. This snap shit is just getting too much to bother with.

      I would recommend using Linux Mint. It is Ubuntu without Gnome Shell and snaps. They use Flatpak instead. I have been enjoying it ever since I jumped ship from Ubuntu about 2 years ago.

      I’d suggest if you want stock and recent Gnome, stick with Fedora.

      Pop is building their own DE that they will switch to sometime in 2023. Which also mean they will remain 22.04 till then.

      I’m waiting for VanillaOS 2.0 release to see if it is any better.

      I’ve heard the latest Debian absolutely slaps; haven’t tried it yet myself though

        Not only that, LMDE 6 based on Debian 12 shouldn’t be too far off, which should be a substantial upgrade to the base system.

        Linux Mint 21.2 is in beta, they previously said LMDE 6 should be about a month after the 21.2 release.

      I was using EndeavourOS when I ran into the wall that a lot of stuff didn’t have builds on AUR that I needed (and didn’t feel like compiling myself or they didn’t provide source code)
