Even the standard releases are too stale, in LTS dev tools and compilers are ancient.<p>I&#x27;ve forgot to mention I&#x27;ve moved to Fedora a year or two back for this reason - got tired of rebuilding&#x2F;PPA hunting for every part of my OS when I want to use the latest version of tool&#x2F;lib X.<p>And once dependencies are too old (very often) prepare to be rebuilding 5+ custom libs and figuring out the differences between debian package&#x2F;path layout and what the library build uses ... so much wasted time.
