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.

      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.
