Linux is the absolute worst OS for having fully up to date applications

None of these have ppas or even snaps or whatever.

Explain this bullshit, and don't tell me to build the source code. No other OS requires me to build the source code to get the latest software.

If the most popular distro can't do this, it's no wonder Linux is like 1% marketshare

If you want more up to date packages, install Manjaro. It's a rolling release distro based on Arch (don't worry noob friendly). Seriously try it out, it's way more stable than Arch because the updates are tested before they get put in Manjaros repos. It's maybe 1-3 days behind Arch.

>If you want more up to date packages, install Manjaro.

Whenever somebody makes a manjaro thread, 80% of the posts say it is shit.

For linux too. Magic. Packaging for distros may have flags and needs some testing before the release. On ubuntu only the main repo is updated properly. Other may stuck for some time or forever. :^)

Sour fags. I use it and it's gitgud. Not perfect, but good enough for a daily driver.

I'm using Manjaro, I can say it's good. You got Gentoo/Arch elitsit that call it shit and maybe even Windows/Debian/Mac users that call it shit. But I haven't encountered shit and I'm running it.

It is not the most important thing that applications are up to date. The distributor must weigh stability against actuality.

Y'all niggas are fucking retarded. Windows let's you install whatever versions of shit you want.

That would be unfair to Win babies who need everything fed to them on a spoon.

Ever notice how Linux users become complete cucks when you mention how they can't install software whenever they want like Windows or Mac users can?

What prevents you from going to the official Firefox website and downloading the new version?

OP wants the new version through his package manager, and that's not gonna happen at the same time as the general release because it needs to be tested and built with specific flags for his distro.

The upside to this minor delay is that when you uninstall Firefox it won't leave 14398 registry entries, 985 log files, 32 configuration files and 8 unneeded dependencies like every Windows program.

>how they can't install software whenever they want
But that's wrong you fucking retard. If you want 60.0 you go to Mozilla's page and get it. Whenever you want.

It's just arch fags that don't want people intruding on their secret club. They are the biggest faggots. Gentoo and Slackware users are pretty nice guys and those are actual a slight pain to install and maintain. Arch users give Linux a bad name.

Download Everything from voidtools and look at how many versions of libcef.dll, node.dll, 7z.exe and D3DCompiler_XX.dll you have installed in your machine.

Samefagging this hard

You can install whatever version of software you want on Linux to. It just doesn't cater to technically illterate brainlets like you and OP

why do you need the latest updates immediately? On my windows computer I don't even update to the latest software until weeks after it's been released so I can make sure it's not a garbage update and all my extensions have had time to get updated. Ubuntu is the biggest linux distro, it'll get all of those updates in a week or two. If you need the absolute latest version of software then you shouldn't pick an OS with a rolling release

>hiding your nervous frustration as laughter after being exposed as a brainlet
I guess that was the way to go

This is how cucked Linux users are.

When MacOS and Windows users have faster updates, they literally act like they don't need it.

If Linux users got faster updates, you know they'd be laughing at Windows and Mac users.

Nice double standard, Loonixtard.

Your are using a stable LTS distro, where maintainers test the software before pushing it into repos, if you need the latest and greatest with dumbass protection use manjaro or antergos. If you think you are so very smart and wont fuck thngs up on the 2nd hour of using linux use gentoo

You can always use dl3.cdn.filezilla-project.org/client/FileZilla_3.33.0_x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.bz2 and compile it yourself you dumb windowscuck

Additionally, if that is their solution to something so fucking minor and easy to fix imagine all the unfixed security issues the distro itself has. They don't have a security team, they just leech off of Arch and some dipshit colours everything green.

I barely use my linux computer as it's a hobby computer. I use macOS at work and windows at home, retard. You still can't answer why you need minor updates as soon as they are released.

You hear this a lot: "A thread died for this." While accurate, this phrase generally carries no weight. But just this once, if you would do me a favor and hear me out, it would do all of us a lot of good.

A. Thread. Died. For this. You woke up this morning, poured yourself a bowl of Faggot Flakes, moistened them with your impotent Faggot prostate milk (which IS in fact impotent, because you're a fucking faggot) and, within seconds, decided that today of all days would be the time you decide to cut your synapse firing quota by just a little too much.

So you hopped online, carved out this uninspired chicken scratch, probably failed the captcha once for every strand of peach fuzz on your half-empty sack, and clicked Submit.

At that moment, a thread died. A thread that could have been bumped. A thread that could have been resurrected with content, or valuable discourse between its denizens. Hell, it could've even been bumped for absolutely no reason. And that would've been okay. Because, had it survived, a few more seconds could have been spent without having had your abortion of a post been born in this world.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Attached: 1458485859133.png (620x348, 269K)

But you said in the OP that you installed Ubuntu, so you're basically calling yourself a 'cucked loonixtard'. Why would you insult yourself like this? You need to work on your self esteem issues

Firefox binaries from the site come out at the same time.
Who knows, maybe this version needed extra testing with the distro.
But why do you need the "latest and greatest" version? I doubt a dumb winshit like you can tell the difference.

Yeah apt is crappy but i also do not care about new software and yes i use debian with gnustep.
But i am thinking of installing gentoo for the fun of it.

>can't get the latest Firefox (60 is out, stuck on 59.0.2)
Weird, I have v62 :^)
Firefox is system independent, it has a built-in updater so it's guaranteed to be up to date on any OS. Unless you're referring to Canonical's version, which nobody is forcing you to use.
download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US
You can literally extract this into a folder and make a launcher to the executable. This gives you the latest, non-Canonical build.
Kys, retard. Should've stayed on windows if you can't fucking solve a problem this simple.

Are you dumb? Firefox is always up to date on any OS. He didn't say he wanted the nightly build, he said he wanted the latest STABLE build.

That's not how it works.

Only true for firefox, and even then only if you download it from their website. And not if you install it normally through your package manager or use the version that ships with your install, which 99% of people do.
