Even they themselves were recommending everyone to use the Flatpak version on their website. The PPA version also was extremely out of date and was missing many features of the new version.
INSTALL SOUNDCONVERTER UBUNTU INSTALL
All in the while, I could've pressed one button and tadaa!Īs a matter of fact, also yesterday, I wanted to install Onionshare. Figuring this all out took a solid 30 mins (maybe even more). I found the sourcecode to build it myself but that was even more of a hassle. So I found the Launchpad and was searching for other PPAs that had this package but there were none (Except for the Ubuntu).
The version included in the Bionic is significantly older and is missing features compared to the up to date version. This application that I was trying to install is called SoundConverter. I understand your standpoint but let me elaborate my perspective on it. While the above statement is true for many, it is also true that a later version can contain fixes, updates, improvements and so on- Which is why reading the documentation is the best way to determine if a later version is actually needed, not just looking at the version number. It has to do more with applicability and where it is used, far more than how it is used. It is a fallacy to assume that a later version is always better. If we actively compare many packages from Bionic and Focal, we will find that their function and performance is identical. For many, if not most packages, the later version number merely means it is suited to the Focal (or later) Distribution release, but does not contain a slew of new and useful features. Being an earlier version does not make them necessarily out of date.
Lastly, PPA packages for Bionic are suited to Bionic. I do not feel like clicking one time as opposed to three times or opposed to throwing in a very easy terminal command is somehow any easier. I do not feel like properly installing a package is somehow. I do not feel like handing control of my system over to another is tempting.
I do not feel like I burned too many calories to survive on if I need to click three times on a mouse. I must be a very different kind of person.
