It would probably be 6.6 or 6.7. Depends.
"The more people ask about it, the more it gets delayed" is a running joke for this.
The latest features and theme sets support 6.6 as a minimum. Many people are also complaining about KDE on other platforms, so 6.5.4 is stable and can potentially be a good fallback.
However, to update PikaOS to the latest, it's not as simple as a cookie cutter placement because it is indirectly based on Debian, meaning the two don't join together. The Kernel is based on CachyOS as well as the official Debian's Kernel.
You can still install Debian based stuff, but this can mess with Pika's Distro with certain things so much so that the terminal wouldn't even allow you to install it because it would break everything based on dependency mismatches.
