When can I expect to be able to install Debian on a device (let's say, I'd use the "testing" branch) and have the choice to use KDE Plasma 6 as UI?

Can I expect this to happen during the next months?

Just curious...

PS: I'm not interested in other distributions, just the raw Debian with Plasma 6...

Debian Testing or Sid should get Plasma 6 within 7 months I'd say. Stable will only get it in 2 years. You can build it from source as the other commenter said but idk how it's going to work

Unless you want to build it from source I wouldn’t hold your breath.

In the Debian mailing list, one meant in summer or later the integration in unstable will be done. They might also await the 6.1 release to increase stability.
