I can use the package and say update all. And then everything currently installed gets updated. going to use libreoffice as an Example. I’ve heard that if you update in a different way you get a newer version of Libre office.

This is really two questions here:

1. Does the package Manager just run the most stable version of Libre office?
2. Is there a better way to update my programs using the package ? Even if it’s a terminal window command?

I’m fairly new to Linux, so these might be kind of strange questions to those who are familiar with it. The more information you can give me the better also remember me like I’m five please

Edit: This isn’t just about just libreoffice This is about pretty much all the programs in the package manager. I’m also curious, is there a single command that I can use to update all the programs even if it’s in the terminal window. Or do I get more stable programs if I stay with the package manager?
