Description

Plasma 5 LTS is still being supported, and in my case needed as there are several breaking bugs in Plasma 6 (broken sleep, broken touchpad disable, session restore, scaling, and HiDPI issues) that are unlikely to get fixed in the near term.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

System

Is the requested package released?

Yes
