Except for when the distro "gods" don't bother updating a package for years, so you always get the "stable" 5-year old version.



And when the distro decides you have to give up some software because of a conflict it can't handle.


Most websites also have rpm's and Deb packages.


Please give me an example. The Linux kernel is about a week old on this laptop. The current version of Windows server is called 2019, the last one was 2016 (rofl)
