well, it apparently was an issue for me on Mint, when i just switched from windows.

I might misremember things, but i believe some Microsoft stuff was inside PPA, so for someone just switching from windows it's actually more likely to delve into the apt fuckery.

Noob distro btw

    I also had the same experience with Mint having outdated packages. And at that time I was a Linux noob so I figured I'd just wait until Mint updated their shit.

    Well days turned into weeks and then about 3 months later, still with no updates from Mint, I jumped ship to Fedora. Which Fedora was nice but then I hopped to Kubuntu and now I'm on CachyOS.

    I see all of this Mint hype and while I do love Cinnamon; I would never put Mint on my own devices going forward. It's definitely a distro I would put on my mom's laptop or a grandparent's device. But their release schedule is abhorrent.
