Yet another non dev, I run stable Bullseye runit version but have many newer than release packages installed.
And fully up to date patched antiX kernel.Some packages can not be backported due the neccesity for newer librarys libC one example.
Gimp is one which is important to some users I support.To get the best of both worlds, stable and rolling we just run from a, special purpose, live stick with
antiX testing when need arises. Sometimes just to assess or test newer package versions.You can easily keep Browsers, Libreoffice and many other packages up to date, either from Backports,
with usage of the antiX package installer which in many cases offers update/newer packages or,
in some cases, direct downloads from for example LO.org, Mozilla or developer sites. Appimages are also
sometimes useful.
To clarify, when you say you are running new versions that those installed, can you elaborate on what you mean? For example, do you mean that you have 2 different versions of the same package with one from the antiX repositories and the other directly from Mozilla? Assuming if it’s the latter, how are you receiving updates other than visiting the website or receiving update emails?
