LM's basis is Ub; other than compiling, it uses Ub repo/s and flatpaks, 
and while Ub likes snap, default LM does not.

The Pan dev/s don't 'bother w/' releasing anything but source. The only 
major distro that 'likes' Pan enough to provide an up-to-date Pan is Arch.

Ub's latest LTS release 'just happened' so LM isn't there yet, so LM is 
using Ub 24.04 repo/s, which is .155.  Sometimes compilers will build 
.deb/s to put into .ppa repo/s, but the Pan .ppa is very old.

The 'alternate' packagers are snap, flathub and appimage; but I don't 
*think* there is anything useful in there.

I would say that Pan is 'one of those things' that if you aren't happy 
w/ the available old versions, then you have to compile or use a distro 
w/ it in the repo/s.

Not being a compiling fan, if I wanted to 'see' Pan's 165 w/o too much 
trouble, I would boot a distro based on Deb testing, such as Sparky, 
which I like anyway. Both Deb testing and unstable repo/s have the Pan 165.
