Does it have a new enough version of QT6 to support the latest KDE release?

Edit: I know it won't ship with the latest KDE, but I want to know if it can reasonably be back ported.

On OpenSuse I just have libraries of both versions installed together. So it won't be a problem withdrawing from some PPAs like PPA/Backports.
Unfortunately, there are some problems with KDE6, so even here they do not even distribute it.

Looking forwards to upgrading from 22.04.4. With the recent update from the HWE kernel 6.2 to 6.5.0.21 and Lact to 5.2 gives me enough control to actually run F@H.
amd_pstate=active now works. Rocm now can be installed through the package manager.
24.04 will be a welcomed upgrade. Once Neon moves to it and hdr is in place I'll most likely migrate.

Even nowadays, you can use kdesrc-build to compile latest Qt 6 and Plasma 6 in Kubuntu 23.10.
