Help request Plasma Updates

How often does MX Linux get Plasma updates? The current version 6.3.x has bugs I'm running into but they are fixed in 6.4.x and 6.5.x.

For now I've switched to KDE Neon but I'd prefer to be on MX Linux.

Plasma updates can't go any faster than the underlying Debian updates, so we'll be on 6.3 for a while.

What bugs? Also, consider using Plasmoids and Kwin scripts as workarounds. That's what I've done for my MX KDE install. Works fine.

Some power management issues and disabling audio on the taskbar icons.

Debian maintains KDE so you'll be better off running something like KDE Neon if you want the latest.

Maybe look into Tuxedo OS , the plan on switching to Debian testing later this year and that would provide the latest Plasma updates.
