> (which installed Ubuntu 14.04 LTS), and `apt-get install nodejs` installed Node 0.10 (from 2013! in 2017!).

Not in 2017. In 2014. You're using Ubuntu 14, which means you get 2014 versions.



Even the latest versions of Ubuntu install Node 0.10. This is a known thing in the Node community which is why we use tj/n or NVM.


The "Node community" disagrees with the actual version numbers on the Ubuntu packages. The version numbers on the packages say that whilst Ubuntu 14.04 has nodejs version 0.10, both Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 16.10 have nodejs version 4.2.6.
