See, for example: https://packages.debian.org/sid/plasma-desktop vs https://packages.debian.org/experimental/plasma-desktop Please take to heart what Martin wrote: > Em sáb., 12 de dez. de 2020 às 15:37, Martin Steigerwald < > martin@lichtvoll.de> escreveu: > >> Hi! >> >> If you are feeling adventurous and are using Sid, then you can help by >> testing Plasma 5.20.4 from experimental.

In this case "adventurous" means you may encounter breakage, that you understand the risks, and are nonetheless brave ;-) Please take your time to consider carefully whether you can afford to break your GUI for a couple of days. If you don't have a second system, it may be best to test 5.20.4 from experimental in a VM, or wait for the upload to sid. Don't forget that downgrading packages is not officially supported! The only system I enable experimental for is a Core-2-duo Thinkpad that I keep around for testing and as an emergency backup laptop. I'm not very adventurous :-p > root@sid:/home/coworking# apt install -t experimental plasma-base > Reading package lists...
