Hi,

KDE neon is a Linux distribution built on top of the latest Ubuntu LTS release (22.04 at the moment)

— KDE neon

Since 22.04 no longer is the latest Ubuntu LTS, is KDE neon now based on 24.04, or is it still based on 22.04 ?

It would be nice to have this info in About this System, so we wouldn't be in doubt.

Thanks

It's coming. It takes a bit of work to make it happen

So far the main issues are all the changes needed for 64-bit time_t to fix the y2k38 problem

World catastrophe is getting averted!

My understanding is that 64-bit time fixes are only needed for 32-bit architectures, based on Debian's notes about the time_t migration project: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time. 64-bit apps already have a 64-bit time_t, at least in Debian (and I assume Ubuntu too) with their standard compiler settings. It's mostly for 32-bit ARM CPUs. 64-bit architectures still need to be tested since build/code changes can unintentionally affect them too.
