Quoting: slaapliedjeSomeone above had mentioned that Lutris is going to be available in the next Ubuntu. That's because it was officially packaged for Debian. They basically just inherit what Debian does, and then make changes to their kernel and some other packages, and retag as they build the packages to have _ubuntu_ in them. So even if Debian is considered 'old'. People should pay it some respect for spawning a huge amount of Linux distributions.
I've been maintaining a Debian package and didn't pull in an update of the program for a long time. There hasn't been done anything to update it in Ubuntu. When I uploaded the update, it automatically came to Ubuntu as well. So usually, Debian unstable will at least as new or newer than anything in Ubuntu for most packages.

*Dr Manhattan "I've walked across the surface of the sun" voice*

I've built my own PCs from scratch, created C++ libraries, assembled production web servers still in operation today for companies, written real time OpenGL renderers, mastered dozens of complex design applications when most would lucky to master even one..

... *looks at a threateningly jammed printer I've been asked to fix in front of coworkers* ..
