From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Debian is right there then.
Can I get debian with latest kde? Like stable debian but rolling DE like kde neon?
Debian 12 shipped with the latest kde plasma version, but the distro is designed to be stable, with a capital S. The packages will not update until the version does.
Flatpaks are a great way to get modern software on a stable OS like debian. If neon has a flatpak version, it would be a good answer.
stableis not the only debian release.stableis not the only debian release.You could check backports.
I don't usually need the absolute latest so I'm fine waiting for stuff to reach testing.
Siduction is rolling Debian with more updated KDE stuff.
Sounds like you're introducing me to some 2 girls 1 cup type shit, but I'll look it up. Is it still maintained?
Yup! It's rolling, but the latest ISO release was in March.
