:O ??
Absolutely, I'm on Debian (and Ubuntu is Debian on steroids -
useless ones, some say ...) and I use Emacs version
GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, cairo
version 1.16.0) of 2022-12-26 [commit
2ffe1494e16381cfc7fec95a6a0879f268df3e95]
Emacs 25.1 was released 2016-09-17 [1] i.e. 6y 5m 27d ago!
So you are absolutely right, most certainly don't do
development on that!
Here are commands how to install the latest version, they work
on Debian so why not on Ubuntu with or without very minor
changes required:
