Stable Distros such as debian hold updates longer for testing, for example the newest Nvidia driver in the Bookworm Stable repo is 530(535 maybe?) wheras rolling release or bleeding edge distros might have up to 570 already.
You're always able to manually install any software not available in your distribution's repositories, but beware, in some cases here be dragons. Most of the time these manual installations are trivial, but in the case of Nvidia drivets for example, its VERY important you properly prepare your system, lest you end up in a state without graphics. This is of course, easily repairable, but a pain in the bum and something that can scare away new users.
