    I much prefer our modern package format solutions:

    1. sudo apt install something
    2. open
    3. wtf this is like 6 months old
    4. find a PPA hosted by someone claiming to have packaged the new version
    5. search how to install PPAs
    6. sudo apt <I forgot>
    7. install app finally
    8. wtf it’s 2 months old and full of bugs
    9. repo tells me to report to original developer
    10. report bugs
    11. mfw original dev breaks my kneecaps for reporting a bug in out of date versions packed with weird dependency constraints they can’t recreate
