Released last week, Kubuntu 21.10 ships with KDE Plasma 5.22.5 as default desktop environment, but users who want to use the recently released KDE Plasma 5.23 “25th Anniversary Edition” desktop environment can now upgrade their installations if they have the Kubuntu Backports PPA repository installed.

The Kubuntu team announced that the KDE Plasma 5.23.1 packages are now available in the Kubuntu Backports PPA repository, along with the KDE Frameworks 5.87 and KDE Gear 21.08.2 software suites, to make your Plasma desktop and KDE apps experience better.
