My computer's OS and desktop environment are:

Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) 64 bit

Cinnamon Desktop 4.4.8

Here is a screenshot of my system (sorry, it's French, it's ok if you don't know french to see it):

The latest version of Cinnamon is 4.6.6, and I want to update to that version. My question is simple: How can I update to Cinnamon 4.6.6 without reinstalling Cinnamon?

NOTE: This question does not anwser my question: Why don't the Ubuntu repositories have the latest versions of software?

I found a PPA maintained by the developers of Wasta Linux (a derivative of Ubuntu, featuring the Cinnamon desktop).

Since they maintain an operating system, I would trust the PPA built by them.

cinnamon 4.8
^{Image source}

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wasta-linux/cinnamon-tagged

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt dist-upgrade

Currently the PPA hosts Cinnamon 4.8 for Ubuntu 20.04.
