What's a better alternative that uses apt and KDE and has relatively up-to-date packages (other than Debian testing)?

    Fedora offers apt. AFAIK not by default, so it has to be installed via dnf first but then it's available.

    It's been like that for years.

    It's a really bad idea to have two package managers overlap (this is also why more "cross-system" package managers like nix and brew are okay: they consciously install to separate paths to avoid overlapping)

    Fedora does not offer APT repositories, so if you somehow don't overlap and pretty much exclusively use APT, you're pretty much just converting your distro to Debian (or whatever's providing your repos). In the forums we call this a Frankenstein; support is seldom given for raising the dead.
