@kkarhan @Paradox @Starcross wasn't yum killed off in favour of dnf years ago? and now dnf sucks even more than apt

I don't mind that as much, but when I tried to main drive Debian, much of my issue came from apt being very wishy-washy with package installs.
I hated wanting to install software from there and it conflicting with another package. No info on how to resolve that, whether I have to fix a version number somewhere or what. So I had to compile that shit myself, just to see what the issue was. I'm not sure that ever worked, or was ever worth the trouble.

@Paradox Package conflicts sounds like you were using a lot of PPAs or DEBs.
PPAs may mess with dependencies, while DEBs may not install because they require packages that may not work for Debian as they're tailored for a newer Ubuntu

I'm using Mint now, but I'll keep this in mind if I try Debian again.

@Starcross Debs, yeah. I don't know how else I'd have installed stuff. I thought it was basically the exe/msi of Debian.
ezr (as seen on cellular!)i'm sorry pacman is infinitely better than dnf there's like no contest
