If you choose to use a linux distro, it really should be second
nature to find a repository where software is up to date and add
it to your sources list (play.deb for instance) OR compile from
source and install it as a debian package with something like
checkinstall. Dealing with out-of-date software is just one of
those things that comes with the territory. It's not up to us to
maintain linux distros.

Why do you think we would have to care anything about Mint? I
don't use that at all. If the Mint maintainers it want to
torture their users with prehistoric versions of the software
they distribute, it is no skin of my nose. Just switch to a
distro that is up to date. Or download a modern version of the
software you need and install it from source.

You are an unsatisfied user of Linux Mint, so
why not complain to the Mint folks about them including old
versions of software in their distro?
