Derek, The choices on what versions are supplied wiith a given OS version are made by the maintainers of the OS distribution. They usually use the current GnuCash version (but not always) at the time of release of a new OS version. If you want to stay up to date with GnuCash, the main options are to use the flatpak or snap versions of GnuCash where available or to build the latest version of GnuCash from the sources as described in the wiki https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Building_On_Linux. Once build environment and the dependencies are installed the process is generally fairly simple. Also check the developer mailing list for any problems with building the most recent version. MySQL8 proved problematical in building GC 4.0/4.1 recently on Linux Mint 20 (ubuntu 20.04 based) which was fixed by downgrading a mysqlclient library that GnuCash depends on as described in the dev mailing list.
