Funny, I was just thinking of switching from linux back to windows, after 20 years, because the backwards incompatibility and breakdown in modern linux package management and C++x extensions has made things very difficult. The proliferation of all the containerized solutions (flatpak, snap, appimage, etc) tries to address it but just makes it worse. It's gotten to the point where linux software written today can't be compiled run on a linux distro more than 5 years old. Progress is great but the rapidity of obsolescence is getting intolerable.
