The latest LTS release has really old software. The problem here is that the Ubuntu heads are pushing for replacement of core system utilities that aren’t ready for prime time. These Rust components need at least another year to cook. This is just the latest bad decision from Ubuntu leadership. See SNAP.
If you want stability, just get Debian. If you need newer software, get an Arch-based distro.




sudo-rs doesn’t implement all the functionality of regular sudo, which causes certain applications to break. I had to install sudo.ws on the latest Ubuntu to get regular sudo back. Many installation scripts depend on sudo, not alternatives.
