I was using Ubuntu 20.04 and then I install and switched to KDE Plasma desktop. Now I'm using KDE 5.18.5 and I want to upgrade to the latest version (5.21), but there's no update on apt.

My question is: How can I upgrade KDE Plasma to 5.21?

Also I've added kubuntu ppa and its backport but no update after running sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade

~  sudo apt-get upgrade

    Does this answer your question? Why don't the Ubuntu repositories have the latest versions of software?, also see launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/backports/…

    Plasma 5.21 is not available in that PPA, and cannot be installed this way. In case you want to use Plasma 5.21, you can upgrade to Ubuntu 21.04 (to be released in April 2021) instead. Alternatively, you can use KDE Neon, which is based on Ubuntu 20.04, but the KDE packages are updated to their latest version. Note that KDE Neon is not an official flavour of Ubuntu, and it is not supported in this site. See the link posted by N0rbert to see why Ubuntu does not always update to the latest version of software.

Upgrade from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/kde-5-80 - Backport of KDE 5.80 stack (and dependencies) for Xenial, Bionic & Focal.

  • Is it safe? Have you tested that it does not break anything?

  • Not yet, going to. I tried 2 other PPAs of this author: ffmpeg4 and multimedia - nothing broken, looks like very professional work.
