From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i know i can use the flatpak version and i did try that one out on my other laptop but, i think it will come to the package manager when some stuff is fixed??? thank you
There's also a PPA if you don't want to use a flatpak. Just be sure to uninstall it before upgrading to Mint 23 to avoid any issues.
If your anything like me you'll forget what PPAs you've added in a few months. Or rather, forget that you've even added things like PPAs. That's why I stick to flatpak if its not in my distro's repos.
Not sure if I misremember but I think the Mint software manager has a menu option somewhere that shows you a list of PPAs you've added
that is, if you remember to check it
as an AUR enjoyer btw I lament PPAs and the burdens they come with
