The versions on the developers repos change too often for the OS repos to keep up with them. That is why many things you install with the apt command is usually a few versions behind and don't get updated often.That doesn't quite answer my question. My apologies. I've been to this page and I've seen the ways listed to install this but I get stuck. I'd like to install Neovim 9.5 in a way that still receives updates with Raspberry Pi OS. Which method is going to do this the cleanest? Am I stuck using a flatpak or snap package or is there a way to integrate the proper repo? I played with adding the repo listed on that page for Ubuntu with no luck. My first line of thought is architecture arm vs x86. Any recommendations?
If you want the latest and greatest, more often than not you will have to follow the developers instructions and sometimes even compile it from source code.
So the short answer is no, you will not be able to install a newer version with a simple apt/flatpack/snap command (unless the software's developers themselves provide frequently updated ones themselves).
If you really need the newer version you will need to work through the instructions provided by the software's developers. If you run into difficulties with those instructions, the best place to ask for help is to those developers themselves. In GitHub there is a tab called Issues. You can click there and browse through the topics there to see if you're issues has already been found and helped. If not, you can create a new topic asking for help with their stuff.
