I absolutely understand not liking opt-out telemetry. Do people generally not like opt-in telemetry? Is this really why the community shifted to a different project?
Given that they were planning to implement Yandex telemetry, I’m guessing the answer is yes. Plus they decided to age “limit” to 13+ to support these changes.
If I could recall anything I ate today, I’d tell you what else I remember about audacity back then. As it stands, I can’t. So, sorry about that
The volume meter is cut off on my old version. I assume that Audacity reads the dimensions of my internal screen (2560px) instead of the one I’m actually using (1920px) when computing the width of the meter.
It’s Audacity’s AppImage. The Mint repos are terribly outdated.
You better get Tenacity.

Isn’t the unofficial successor tenacity since audacity partly switched to a closed/proprietary license?
It’s not the license. It’s the opt-in telemetry. I’m not sure if this is prepackaged binary or not. Either way, that’s why people switched

AFAIK the “issues” with Audacity were only that they added optional telemetry, and made the project lead a former Microsoft guy.
I may be wrong, I avoid looking too much into this type of drama.
Just out of curiosity: what do you need that the newer versions have but the version on Mint is missing?

Try using audacity flatpak
The audacity website didn’t mention Flatpak, so I thought they didn’t support it. However…
It’s a good try though, if it doesn’t work for you uninstall it.
to just use
to install it
Kind of you to assume I have your favorite package manager installed
it is a solution to your problem whether you like it or not
