How to Upgrade to KDE Plasma 5.27 on Kubuntu 22.10

Kubuntu 22.10 users can now upgrade to the latest KDE Plasma 5.27 release thanks to the ever-dependable Kubuntu backports PPA. As expected, Kubuntu developers put in the effort necessary to package the latest Plasma release for use atop Kubuntu 22.10. As the backports PPA is entirely opt-in (i.e. it’s not enabled by default) users must go out of their way to add it in order to receive the update. KDE Plasma 5.27 features a variety of cool things, the most notable being a(n incredibly cool) new window tiling experience, and major improvements to multi-monitor handling. There are also Flatpak setting :sys_more_orange:

Final Version of KDE Plasma 5 Released – This is What’s New

KDE Plasma 5.27 has arrived with some cool changes, the best of which I run through in this post. Notably, this is expected to be the final release in the KDE Plasma 5.x series, with the following stable release set to be KDE Plasma 6.0, due for release towards the end of the year. Naturally, the developers working on this phenomenally popular (not to mention increasingly lightweight) desktop environment chose to end things on a high, so they’ve doubled-down to dish out some final finishing touches in the form of new features, UI tweaks, bug fixes, and performance buffs.

KDE Plasma 5.25 Now Available for 22.04 LTS Users

If you’re running Kubuntu 22.04 LTS you can now upgrade to KDE Plasma 5.25, the latest stable release of the free, open source desktop environment. The Kubuntu team has made the update available to install from its backports PPA following requests from users. To be clear: this is not an automatic upgrade. The Kubuntu 22.04 LTS install image ships with KDE Plasma 5.24 by default, and that’s not changing. Instead, users who want to upgrade to Plasma 5.25 on Jammy can opt-in by adding the Kubuntu backports PPA and a new backports-extra PPA (technically the extra PPA can be used :sys_more_orange:

KDE Plasma 5.24’s Default Wallpaper is Unveiled

The brand new default wallpaper that will feature in the upcoming release of KDE Plasma 5.24 has been revealed. If you’ve been reading this site for a while you may have noticed that I’m rather fond of desktop wallpapers, particularly the ‘default’ ones used by Ubuntu and related distros, and those shipped by desktop environments like GNOME and KDE Plasma. I don’t profess that wallpapers are interesting or worthy of as much attention as I give them, but hey: we all have our little quirks. That, and I do know that a lot of readers are curious (if not obsessed) :sys_more_orange:
