yes, it solves problems for devs at end-user expense. 5-7 years ago, i could "apt upgrade" and upgrade, nearly, my entire box. Now i have to manually upgrade

yes, it solves problems for devs at end-user expense.
5-7 years ago, i could "apt upgrade" and upgrade, nearly, my entire box.
Now i have to manually upgrade DEBs, have separate systems or upgrade/management options for AppImages, Flatpaks, Snaps, docker images.
it's a mess and it makes keeping up with security patches an absolute nightmare.
Now, if you're lucky, apps do all their individual checking if an upgrade needs to be done and you do apps one at a time, piece meal, which requires a lot more time from end users.
I now spend more time managing my machine than using it.
so yay for devs saving some time on their end ,or something.
