--- Comment #3 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
For software installed from your distro's software repositories, the version
provided to you is the one they feel comfortable shipping. If you feel that
this version is too old, there are a few options:

1. Get a newer version of the software from Flatpak or Snap. This is the best
solution for apps, but it not applicable for Plasma itself.
2. Use a PPA/COPR/OBS repo etc to overlay a newer version packaged from
somebody else on top of your distro-provided version. This is not recommended
as it tends to cause problems updating the system later.
3. Compile a newer version of the software yourself; see
https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/development. This is an advanced option
that's not recommended for people who aren't software developers or technical
experts.
3. Switch to a different distro and offers software updates on a faster
schedule. This is often painful but generally the correct solution if you
discover that the distro you chose doesn't have a software update schedule that
matches your preferences.
