Strange. Seems so simple on Linux mint using their built in software manager
I love using Linux (yes I am a normie and I use Ubuntu most of the time because it's easier) ... but a simple thing like "I want the latest Tor update which the developers put **strongly recommend updating** on is way too much hassle.
Look at this nonsense I have to do:

So it gives you latest (in this case I believe 0.4.8.6) without manual intervention? That's great if so.
On Ubuntu focal it was stuck at 0.4.7.2.
