I'm also on Mint 21 (Vera in my case) and stuck on version 2.3.6. Liv's 
PPA has not been updated in 110 weeks, so I don't think we'll be seeing 
2.3.7 there, for any Ubuntu/Mint version, any time soon.

There's always the option to compile from source. Alternatively, if you 
go to https://repology.org/project/lyx/versions you can see the versions 
of LyX for various Ubuntu distros, along with the email addresses of the 
maintainers. They show 2.3.6 as the latest for Jammy, but 2.3.7 for 
Lunar. That makes me wonder if there is some installation problem with 
2.3.7 on Jammy. We may have to wait for Mint 22 (sigh).
