    What’s a better alternative that uses apt and KDE and has relatively up-to-date packages (other than Debian testing)?

      uses apt

      May I ask why you seem to be married to the use of apt?

      Just couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to insert this banger.

      What’s wrong with Debian?

        I already know about it, so there’s no need to tell me.

          Fair enough.

          There’s also Pop and Mint, though I don’t know if their update model differs from Ubuntu at all.

          But if you’re already familiar with Debian, why not use it? It’s widely recommended for a reason, it’s hard to beat.

      Fedora offers apt. AFAIK not by default, so it has to be installed via dnf first but then it’s available.

      It’s been like that for years.

        https://www.google.com/search?q=why+shouldn't+you+use+apt+on+fedora&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&safe=active

        It’s a really bad idea to have two package managers overlap (this is also why more “cross-system” package managers like nix and brew are okay: they consciously install to separate paths to avoid overlapping)

        Fedora does not offer APT repositories, so if you somehow don’t overlap and pretty much exclusively use APT, you’re pretty much just converting your distro to Debian (or whatever’s providing your repos). In the forums we call this a Frankenstein; support is seldom given for raising the dead.

          Is your answer whatever Gemini happens to hallucinate on a given day?
