What's that I see in the #Kubuntu Backports PPA? Is that #Plasma 5.24? Why, it is!
Users on Kubuntu 21.10 "Impish Indri" can add `ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports` and get the latest and greatest Plasma release today.
Read more about Plasma 5.24.0 over at the official #KDE release announcement: https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.24.0/ but here's one fun highlight that's also a bit of a blast from the past: the Cover Flip animation is an option for task-switching again! 🎉
Is it just me, or does it seem like the release comes earlier every year?
