If for some unspecified reason you truly and absolutely need the latest version of something, nothing's stopping you from pulling the repo and building it yourself.

That's fine when you need only one or two things, but when you wan't your whole system to be up to date as much as possible it becomes tedious.

And I'm questioning the need for that.

Fairly long-term Mint veteran here: usually if I need software that's more up to date than what's in the standard repo, Flatpak will do.

Oh god no

For me it's the fact that I almost always need a feature from a program that's in a recent release that is never in debian/ubuntu until a couple years later.

For every single package?

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 1 points 5 months ago
