Yeah, I noticed that there is a lot of out of date software in the software center, I knew that wasn’t Zorin’s fault though, as like you say, its from Ubuntu, so its most certainly their fault. Too many times I find myself adding PPA’s I find on sites, just so I can download newer versions of software, either that, or I’ll install via DEB file.
I figure the pandemic probably really slowed things down by quite a lot. However, as long as development teams are NOT sick with Covid, I’d rather they not use the pandemic as an excuse as to why they couldn’t put out software updates lol.
So far things seems to have slowed down a lot, so I guess some of us have to wait and see.
