Hi,

Just trying out Linux (elementary OS).

On installing some common development programs (node, docker, etc) i've noticed the software is comically out of date.

Why aren't the repository stores updated more frequently? IS it tied to the OS version, meaning it's basically never going to be up to date?

Cheers
