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?
Flatpak is good for user things that need to be bleeding edge. If I need to work with a server that’s bleeding edge, containers are the way to go.
