Yes, I'm afraid old versions are one downside of stable distros like
Mint, on the other hand most of their stuff doesn't suffer from
bleeding edge bugs.

Just be aware that both Debian and Ubuntu (the underlying distros that
Mint is based on and where you would get your upgrade from) have
switched to the GTK3 version of Geany for 1.33, might be better to
stick to 1.32, it still has the Arduino filetype.
