What's a better alternative that uses apt and KDE and has relatively up-to-date packages (other than Debian testing)?
May I ask why you seem to be married to the use of
apt?~~Just couldn't pass up on the opportunity to insert this banger.~~
Isn't apt still better at resolving the dependency tree than other managers? (Idk if it is, but vaguely heard so.)
IIRC, historically, it was (one of) the first to do so. It took a significant time for (most^[Slackware, famously, continues to not have a dependency resolver. Though, they got their reasons.]) others to catch up.
Maybe. I honestly don't know either.
