@osnews I don't see a problem. manual installation and full customization is a plus! it's an advantage. this is why people choose Linux.
I use Linux for decades. on desktop, on servers, at home and at work. I came to a point when I use my own customized build of whole distributive. because customization and manual select and building of all software (including patches, of course!) gives the best freedom of software ever. and drivers debug is very easy on Linux. this is just excellent system!
