What I have works.
I also am not on the newest Linux Mint either.
Some things like Signal, Calibre, Viber, Brother drivers etc I install from the source. Other things I use the distro packages, though I avoid flatpack versions, such as Libre Office, GIMP, Filezilla, WINE, KATE.
I don't always have the latest Calibre either, unless there is a bug fix I need.
I stayed on Office XP (ten years) and Windows XP (nearly 15 years), Paint Shop Pro 7, etc with only doing patches etc.
I used WFWG 3.11 till I upgraded to NT 4.0, the win 95 was a "game console" for one of the kids.
I was still using CP/M and Wordstar clone up till 1991 as well as a PC. But I'm not as bad as G.R.R. Martin. I think Jerry Pournell (Chaos Manor and co-wrote with Niven) used old stuff?
I used same laptop from 2002 to 2016 (XP + Linux dual boot). Replacement had Win7 + Linux, but I removed the Win7 in 2017.
Stopped doing programming in about 2014.
Quote:
7.0 introduced Navigator improvements (sidebar TOC based on Headings).
7.1 introduced Outline Folding + Style Inspector
7.2 introduced gutter support + Index fixes
7.3, coming out in a few months, is going to have tons of Track Changes + Compare Documents fixes

Don't need Navigator improvements. I have separate windows.
I had "outline" folding in 1984 in an editor. I prefer the window with list of headings to navigate (which can hide sub headings).
I don't have any gutter issues or broken/buggy indexes.
I don't collaborate any more. How I hated that on Google Docs & MS Word. Track Changes & Compare is of no value now to me (it was on big programming projects I managed).
