After reading this thread https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showth...6-04-and-18-04 and the description of the two PPAs, I am not sure if I fully understand how they differ.
Backports
Does that mean that if I am on the latest release already, adding the backports ppa is pointless?
-> This is for users on < 18.10 which don't want to upgrade the platform but still want the latest of KDE Platform, Plasma and Applications as well as major KDE apps for Kubuntu?
Whereas the updates ppa would give me bugfixes as soon as they become available no matter which release I am on?
-> If I am already running the latest release I need updates and not backports
Backports
This PPA will receive major version updates backported from later Kubuntu releases
