Linux Distribution without KDE Plasma 5.23 and up?
Hello! so i wan't to install a new linux distribution (other than debian and ubuntu) that uses KDE Plasma 5.22 or something older than that, because in 5.23 they removed XRender, which is not a good thing for me, so which distribution do you recommend?

Ah! interesting, never thought i'd be using a linux distribution thats for servers, anyway does it have some of the packages that you would see in distros like redhat?
EDIT : i just realized that most rpms there arent available, usually i play games like doom but there isnt any source port in the repos as far as i can hear

When you want useful recommendations you need to state all your requirements up front.
MX Linux might be a candidate. It is Debian Stable.
- Systemd removed (by default, but available as boot option).
- Extra (MX) repository with very handy and usefull utilities (amongst snapshot to bootable ISO).
- Debian Backports available.
Plasma 5.22...!

Good! MX is very popular and works fine on my machine! thank you so much sir!
UPDATE : i have since switched away from plasma and booting up MX does not seem to work anymore
You mean you:
- Installed MX (KDE PLasma version), which worked?
- Installed another DE? And another DM?
- And same installation "seems" not booting anymore?
If so:
- What did you change?
- What exactly happens?
