[18/8/2026] The new PikaOS builder has cleared a massive update backlog, a new update is live!
The Upgrade updated everything in the PikaOS repos, but it specifically includes:
GNOME 50
KDE 6.7
Custom Patched APT and DPKG for much higher speeds.
currently the pikman-update-manager gui will crash due to absolute size of the upgrade, so you will need to run this command to update it to version with a safe distribution upgrade mode
```
sudo apt install pikman-update-manager apt dpkg
```
after that make sure to close pikman-update-manager from the tray icon
and open it again, then you will be greated by the screen on this post, it will upgrade you to the latest everything.
if you experience any trouble, check out the update-issues channel on our official discord.
