downbad“i can’t install an app because of a dependency”
“I can’t install an app because a dependency depends on another dependency that I already have installed but in ever so slightly the wrong way, but I have another app installed which depends on this dependency being installed the way it is now, so I’ll have to compile the app from source instead and tweak the config file to work with my version of this dependency, but I also can’t compile the app because of the dev environment dependencies.”
Can I introduce you to our lord and savior Flatpak?

SubArcticTundrasystem refuses to boot
I swear to god I installed Ubuntu the other week, it failed the apt upgrade and after a reboot it just loaded into Phoenix terminal… No idea what happened I just sighed and reinstalled a fresh copy.
Yup. It’s moments like these that I’m thankful I set up a separate home partition
sudo boot --force
Sudo is such a blessing to this world

Sundray“Oh good, I found a program that does exactly what I need, now I just need to add this weird-ass, mysterious repository…”
I’ve never had a problem with AUR packages (except for someone once forgetting to update the checksums but that was easy to fix)
NixOS be like: “lol”
That would only stop someone that can’t go beyond “clickety click” though.
AndrewAppimage/Flatpak ring any bell?
if you were still in the 90s sure…
