From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nobody who packages debs are updating their applications for jammy anymore. Anything I install is several versions old at this point. Just the other day I tried to compile an application that uses Autocxx, only to find that it requires C++14 headers, and the jammy repo only had up to 12 or 13. I know I can add PPAs or get things other ways, but it kind of defeats the point of a package manager if I'm constantly hunting for things outside of it.
