There are many small utilities that's not available especially if you stick to LTS. (Even ripgrep isn't available on 18.04. I feel this more when these 'remake better alternatives with rust/go' movement started to occur.) And all you can do is hopefully find a trustworthy PPA that gets timely updates or you end up downloading it yourself and get them updated manaually. I wanted to use Linuxbrew but this seems still not too mature.
