But It’s Months Out-Of-Date
So, par for the course for Ubuntu, no?
there’s a world of options. this is an LTS distro. use Arch or Nix or whatever if you want the latest packages. i actually switched to NixOS because the CUDA drivers were too new on Arch, and i wanted a better way to pin versions.
or i dunno keep publicly complaining about it until someone does the work for you
I mean, even in an LTS distro, it sure would be nice if the packages were reasonably up-to-date on the day the version was released.
i guess it would be nice, but packages being a few months out of date is pretty normal for Ubuntu, in my experience. i’m not sure what their testing process is like, but part of using something like Ubuntu is stability guarantees. if they felt like the couldn’t do that for newer versions for whatever reason (resource constraints, lack of downstream interest from stakeholders, etc) they’re not necessarily obligated to.
this is why we are moving to packaging like flatpak.
Or this is why we are moving to a rolling-release model.
Or this is why I’m rolling over.
Will test it as soon as possible. Does someon know how compartible it is with a qemu VM ? I need some GPU abilities like Vulkan there.
