You Can Now Install KDE Plasma 5.26 on Kubuntu 22.10, Here’s How
Kubuntu 22.10 was released earlier this week on October 20th, and it shipped with the KDE Plasma 5.25.5 desktop environment rather than with the latest KDE Plasma 5.26 release. It also shipped KDE Gear 22.08 and KDE Frameworks 5.98 software suites.
But, thanks to the Kubuntu Backports PPA repository, which is actively maintained, you can now install the latest KDE Plasma 5.26 desktop environment on your brand-new Kubuntu 22.10 machines, along with the latest KDE Gear 22.08.2 and KDE Frameworks 5.99 software suites.

You Can Upgrade to KDE Plasma 5.26 on Kubuntu 22.10 - OMG! Ubuntu!
Kubuntu 22.10 users can upgrade to KDE Plasma 5.26, the latest stable release of the colossally popular open source desktop environment.
The latest release of Ubuntu’s official KDE spin ships with the KDE Plasma 5.25 release by default, but KDE Plasma 5.26 can be installed on Kubuntu 22.10 using the official Kubuntu Backports PPA.
KDE Plasma 5.26 introduces support for animated wallpapers, a new compact KickOff menu layout, resizable panel popups, and a large array of bug fixes aimed at improving overall stability and consistency.
