I am “not” using Flatpak on Pop!
Most of the cases, those software are from Ubuntu repositories… would Pop!_OS consider building their own, or as some other people mentioned, rebase on something else?
I do know what LTS means and I also am aware of how frequently Pop updates these things, I just prefer not assuming that OP has zero reason for asking and find solutions and explanations more productive.
Posts like these demanding that we rebase are not constructive, and will not be well received.
I’m tired of seeing these accusations lately that we don’t update Pop!_OS even though we are constantly updating packages and release new ISO’s every week or two. In addition to the constant steam of security updates from Ubuntu, which will continue to support 22.04 until 2031.
We make ~30 ISO releases every year to enable hardware support for the latest hardware. Every new System76 product ships day one with a new Pop!_OS ISO on the website containing all of the latest updates we made to backport the latest kernel, firmware, drivers, mesa, zfs, etc.
There’s a person here making weekly package update posts. Follow those, or the pop-os/repo-release GitHub repository directly.
Thank you for all the work you and the team put into updates for Pop!_OS. While I am on older hardware I still appreciate that we are getting updates to continually improve the distro regularly. Things like the pop scheduler are not visible but make big differences in the day to day experience.
@bitwise @mmstick Pop!_OS is awesome, it’s my daily driver, and I’ve tested quite a lot of distros, but never stuck. I always come home to Pop!_OS.
