But that is totally unrelated to this bug report.

You can get the latest versions from KDE:Extra. Released Leap versions will
normally only get bugfix and security updates.

digikam 6.1.0 is in KDE:Extra, Leap 15.0 came with 5.9.0 (not 6.0.0).

pulseaudio is not related to KDE.

But that's the policy of Leap. The distribution is frozen at release, and only
gets bugfix and security updates. And the release has deadlines, afterwards
it's not possible to get newer versions in anymore (that's why e.g. 15.1 ships
with digikam 6.0.0 and not 6.1.0).

Again, if you want to always get the latest versions, use Tumbleweed, that's
why it exists.

We do, with Tumbleweed.

And we somewhat do it in Leap as well, as we always update the KDE packages to
the latest versions with every new release (though we try to stay with LTS
versions if available, which should actually help with the "quality level").

???
And why would you suggest then to transform Leap into a second Tumbleweed? ;-)

Anyway, Tumbleweed should actually be fine for everyday use.

Sure, but the point is that Argon is not a distribution.
It's just openSUSE Leap (15.0 currently) with additional KDE repos
pre-configured.
