Actually, while scrolling through the forum, I found that this version of Anki is way outdated - so I changed the topic name.
I am using Void Linux with the musl library and i got Anki from it’s xbps package manager. Why is the version so outdated?.. If you’re not planning on updating the package, why bother; provide us voidlings with alternative ways.
Because it’s not published by Anki’s developer(s).
Linux distributions often include out of date, unstable, or broken versions of Anki, or don’t provide the library versions Anki requires. Because of this, we are only able to provide support for the packaged builds of Anki we provide on our website. If you’re experiencing issues, the first thing you should try is switching to the latest packaged version we provide.
Compiled builds of Anki are available on https://apps.ankiweb.net. All the necessary libraries are included, and Anki has been tested to work with these library versions.
If you want to continue using the version of Anki from your distribution, please report any issues you encounter to the people who packaged it.
Anki’s build system requires glibc, so you won’t be able to run recent versions on a musl-based distro unless you do so in a container, or contribute fixes upstream.
