I have started using linux for 6 months since I leave Windows and already tried ubuntu, arch and liked mint besides arch AUR be so useful, but because I have had some issues with rolling release I choose mint, and I sometimes need latest package, there is somehow to install without being though appimage and tarball?
Worst thing about PPAs is their maintainers don’t keep up with the base Ubuntu version and then you have to disable the PPA on the next version upgrade, or you end up seeing someone with repositories for Ubuntu 16.04 on 22.04 and wondering why apt is returning errors. Containers are a much better modern solution.
