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 mfw original dev breaks my kneecaps for reporting a bug in out of date versions packed with weird dependency constraints they can’t recreate
