Debian and Kubuntu LTS doesn't support KDE Plasma 6 yet. It's available on Debian 13 (Trixie) and Kubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole) but not supports Vinyl yet.
The package is available to be installed from the Arch Linux AUR.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/vinyl
You can use your favorite Arch AUR helper to install it.
Example.
yay -S vinylTo build the code, do the following:
git clone https://github.com/ekaaty/vinyl-theme
export NPROCS=$(grep -c proc /proc/cpuinfo)
cd vinyl-theme
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build -j${NPROCS} --verboseAnd, finally, to install the files execute the following (will install it to the DESTDIR/PREFIX directory):
# On non-Fedora systems you can change PREFIX variable (eg. PREFIX=/usr/local) to
# match your KDE instalation
export PREFIX=$([ $(id -u) -eq 0 ] && echo /usr || echo ~/.local)
cd vinyl-theme
cmake --install build --prefix ${PREFIX}
