    I don't like "me-too" comments but I have to agree here. If you want the latest & greatest version of every package then you need to look at a distribution like gentoo or arch. Otherwise, Mint, Ubuntu, Alma, OEL, etc. will give you stable, reasonable current, and supported versions of each package. Wandering off into PPA territory with who-knows-what versions of a range of packages is a recipe for disaster. Commented Jun 28, 2022 at 19:17
  • … disaster, because a PPA's job is not to guarantee the rest of the system still works. "Here's a PPA that will give you a nightly built of python, it will definitely break all your system," is a perfectly legit and useful PPA (for developers that want to test what happens on nightly python without needing the rest of the system to still work), and it's completely useless for the part of the world that needs working systems. So, 100% on point, @doneal24. Commented Jun 28, 2022 at 19:27
