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?
They’re spending all of their time and effort on cosmic. This is why I don’t recommend Pop_os to anyone anymore, not until cosmic is complete and released to the public.
See the code of conduct on the side. Criticism must be constructive. This is not only false, but ridiculous. Half of my hours are spent on Pop!_OS packaging and community.
Fair enough, but why is pop_os almost two full OS releases behind Ubuntu?
You are “not” using a flatpak, but you should and it would solve all your problems. It’s the way of the future even if you read some FUD about it online.
Why does it matter? What are you missing? Numbers on a screen? It’s not that old. Everything works perfectly fine. Use Flatpak if you want the latest version of a desktop application.
There’s no problems, everything is completely fine! Let’s assume OP has no legitimate reasoning.
I can easily assume you have no idea what LTS means. Nor apparently do you realize that we frequently update the core system software in Pop. Our kernel, firmware, and drivers are newer than what most Linux distributions have. Same goes for Pipewire, Lutris, Virtualbox, etc.
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.
i mostly worried about keepass for vulnerabibity and virt-manger not getting the latest qemu/libvirt update… but i agree to you, these package aren;t that old.
22.04 LTS will receive security updates until 2031. That’s what the L in LTS means. Ubuntu backports security patches, and occasionally bug fixes, for their core, server, and enterprise customers. You can’t compare Ubuntu versions of software because most of them contain patches.
thank you
You always have the freedom of clone the src and compile the latest version yourself. Or if you want the package manager do the job, use distrobox and make an Arch container
