The 'Kept back' list is something to focus on. `sudo apt-get --with-new-pkgs upgrade` Should pull those in, *and* keep them as 'auto-installed'. If you install them one at a time, they will be marked as 'manually installed' which could be problematic later. Since you went through two upgra

Flatpak is not the only option, you can also build from source. It does take some work to set up the dependencies for building and the build tools, but once done, you should be able to easily build each new version as they come out. Setup should take maybe 15-30 minutes depending on any errors
