I think those are actually mole crabs. Sand fleas are usually about 1/3" long everywhere I’ve been.
I wasn’t trying to call you out! I was more responding to Jcreazy, but I wanted to emphasize what NaN said.
As far as I know, the xapps are largely updated in line with when Mint gets updates – Mint doesnt get super frequent updates on those either, they often get bundled with a new Cinnamon release.
Yeah. Everyone should be clear that both Mint and LMDE follow about the same release spacing as their upstream, but offset by a couple of months. Mint’s upstream is Ubuntu LTS, LMDE’s is Debian. Both release about every two years. Mint and LMDE cannot possibly do major version updates faster than their upstream!
The point of these distros is stability and polish. If you want the absolute newest updates, mint/LMDE is not the right distro for you, and getting the newest updates inherently sacrifices some stability.
