Debian Trixie to Plasma 6

#1 Post by Germ »

I tend to neglect my Trixie install but upgraded today. A lot of packages, a little time, and a reboot.

It's running Plasma 6 now and the upgrade actually went pretty smooth. Everything seems to work, no surprises, and very nice. I didn't even know the devs were working on it.

Plasma 6.2.3
KDE Frameworks 6.6.0
Qt 6.7.2

That's good to hear. I thought Debian was going to go with Plasma 5.27.11 in Trixie.

Yea, I figured they would stick with 5.27.11 for a while longer.

Bookwork is showing Plasma 5.27.5 but I do see that the Trixie packages for KDE has been updated from 5.27.11 to 6.2.3 since the last time I looked.
https://packages.debian.org/trixie/kde/

Also looks like Trixie will have the 6.11.10 kernel.

Dang!

The 6.12 Kernel has the full Realtime (RT) capabilities baked in without any patches, simply a boot switch to turn it on... A pretty big milestone in the kernel world, hopefully it will become the default (not that it's a very big deal to update)

There is a ways to go before Trixie freeze. No kernel version is set in stone.

Do you mean the 6.12 kernel?

That's true. The kernel maintainers still have 6.11/6.12 listed as stable and not longterm.
