Starting February 12, 2023, the upcoming “Bookworm” 12 release is in its Soft Freeze state. New Debian releases’ development goes through several stages, such as Before the Freeze, Transition and Toolchain Freeze, Soft Freeze, Hard Freeze, and Full Freeze. Debian’s Devs Moved KDE Plasma 5.27 to the Testing Branch Debian 12 (Bookworms) running KDE Plasma 5.27. In this regard, there is good news for all Plasma users: Debian 12 (Bookworm) will feature the most recent version of the desktop environment, KDE Plasma 5.27. Given that these versions are far from the most up-to-date, it is expected that as a new stable release of the distribution approaches, one of the main topics to be how up-to-date the included software will be. For example, the current stable version of Debian 11 relies on GNOME 3.38 and KDE Plasma 5.20. For example, if you use the distro as a desktop system, the versions of the applications and the desktop environments are not the most up-to-date. On the other hand, however, this has its drawbacks. This approach has several benefits, including enhanced stability, reliability, and security. Unlike other distributions, Debian does not rush to include the latest software versions, instead preferring to thoroughly test and evaluate each new release before adding it to its repos. One of the distinctive features of Debian is its conservative approach to including software in its repositories. KDE Plasma 5.27 desktop environment is now in Debian’s Testing branch, and the upcoming stable 12 (Bookworm) release will use it.
