It looks like there are two versions of KUbuntu released at any given time: One
is a LTS (long term support) release which is supposed to be more stable, and an
other is their more cutting-edge version with newer versions of things. I'm usi
ng the one that has the newer versions (currently, 25.10).
Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, so I believe it uses the same repositories of sof
tware. And Linux Mint probably uses the ones that Ubuntu LTS uses, so IMO it's
no surprise that it has the older version of KDE. I believe the current KUbuntu
LTS version also has KDE 5.x (according to their web site).
