More and more I'm favouring #Arch over #Debian

Debian's packages are way out of date. These two packages are from Debian Buster and yet they are both over a year old.

Example 1:
github.com/syncthing/syncthing
packages.debian.org/buster/syn

Example 2:
github.com/arduino/Arduino/rel
packages.debian.org/buster/ard

Seriously? at some point these packages get that old that things naturally start to break.

And yes I know their is snaps, flatpaks, ppas, appimages, etc. But this adds unnecessary complications and bloat.

@caltlgin if you're wanting updated Debian you should use testing or unstable. Those are kept reasonably current and testing, at least, is still pretty non-crashy.
