That’s because the official instructions say to install it through snap. Which is just snap install blender. You may have problems with flatpacks (I don’t to be fair) but that might be outside of the scope of this comment. Or just go to the app store and download it haha
And if you really want to install the deb package there are instructions to add the PPA.
That is part of the deal with Debian. You get stable software… but you only get stable software. If you want bleeding edge software, you’ll have to install it manually to /usr/local, build from source and hope that you have the dependencies, or containerize it with Distrobox.
If you go to a butcher, don’t complain about the lack of vegan options.
Yeah but then I get an ancient version because I use Debian.
I think the last time I used Blender I installed it through Steam.

Time to install flatpaks. It’s the future of userspace programs on Linux anyway, you’ll get newest versions there the quickest.

I’m aware and I’m not complaining. Just sharing what I thought was a funny story of using Steam as a package manager.
