Rant / gonna be honest here, tying software versions to the OS in LTS releases is the dumbest idea ever. Just because I want a stable OS doesn’t mean I want to be stuck with outdated apps for years. It's not the 70s anymore, having duplicate dependencies isn't gonna make my computer die.

Their solution? Flatpak! Downloading gigs of useless bullshit to run a 30mb app. Make it make sense! /

Alpine Linux allows choosing a repository manually for each package, so it's possible to have an LTS release but install some packages from the edge repository. https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Repositories#Repository_pinning
