Hello, i'm testing the KDE Neon distro and I'm realy liking, but something that I've notice is some aplications on Discovery are old versions, like WPS 2016 (current is 2019) and qBittorrent 4.0.3 (current 4.2.4). I've already checked for the updates and the versions quote above are the latest.
So how can I update the repository to install the new versions? If is not possible, is there a way to install another store with updated applications?

neon is based on Ubuntu 18.04, so the non-Plasma related software will be whatever version is available for Bionic.
There are often PPAs (Personal Package Archives) for various things, as well as snaps, flatpaks, and appimages for software that you may want to have a more current version of.

For Qbittorrent, if you search for it in Discover, you should see two entries for it, one being a flatpak for the current version you are looking for.

I've found it. In Discovery Settings there was an option to enable flatpak. Thank you
