Hi Adam,
Yes, on Linux one has to choose between Nightly/Stable if using the
PPA. The other option is building KiCad yourself, which I can do, but
many can't/won't. I was not sure of the situation on other OS's if
you
can install Nightly/Stable simultaneously on Mac, then its more reason
why the Linux distributions should follow suit.
