--- Comment #54 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Oops, actually I meant to recommend Kubuntu 23.04. It's not an LTS release, but
it has Plasma 5.27 in it.

Personally I don't recommend sticking with LTS releases. In my opinion they
represent a false promise. You do get "stability", for certain definitions of
stability; the definition that ends up actually being used tends to be
"stability of bugginess": It simply has the bugs that it has. The bugs don't
change. Sometimes, maybe, some of them might get fixed, but that's not
guarantee of that. Mostly you're just stuck with a fixed, unchanging set of
bugs. So if you're using an LTS version that has a major bug for you which has
already been fixed in a newer version of the software, you're mostly out of
luck.

I get that LTS distros feel like they fit into the conservative update
scheduled of institutional users, but this has to be counterbalanced against
the possibility of hitting a bad bug that's already fixed upstream that you
don't have access to yet, which is exactly what's happening here.
