Hardly. I've maybe had to do that 5 times in the last...10 years?
And I split my time between Arch, CentOS & OpenBSD. The vast majority of things these days are packaged in a useful way. There's also flatpak and similar now.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y ago> I've maybe had to do that 5 times in the last...10 years? Good for you. Some of us have to install up to date software more often than every 5 or 10 years.
- busterarm 7y agoI'm running Arch on my office workstation. I install up to date software literally every day.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoOnly after a third party makes an AUR for it. I'll stick to an OS where the developer can publish directly to the users without 15 different packaging formats, thanks.
- ailideex 7y agoAgain, flatpak, appimage, docker ... you can use one of these, don't have to use 15.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoNo, the developer can choose one of these. As a user, I have to deal with all of them because I cannot choose how the developer distributes it and there is no standard. If I could choose, I'd use AppImage for everything (since it is the only one that is portable) but I can't do that.
