I’ll be the first to admit that I still have a lot to learn, but isn’t it kind of dangerous to rely on repositories with software that is often months out of date? I understand that security is a moving target, but I see so many people saying that getting apps from the official repositories is the safest option. This just seems incorrect to me. Can someone please illuminate?
I now know more about this subject than I ever thought possible. Thank you, everyone, for your thoughtful replies. It is very much appreciated. :)
