So Ubuntu has this model where they pretty much freeze package versions for an Ubuntu release after release, and then they only backport security updates from upstream. There's nothing new here, most distros do it this way. The idea is that this way they can polish the gazillions of package versions
ditch ubuntu and switch to debian :)
We’ve had Debian on some machines, and while it’s stable, packages tend to be too old for some operations. Maybe Sid…
…there is backporting or containers. Or arch btw :D
