Nixpkgs and the nix build. After rough times with ubuntu default package manager I finally installed nix and there's no going back. Previously installing any software used to be a risky affair that could corrupt the packages or bring some dpkg issue. Now I literally install whatever I find. It's truly game changing. I haven't seen a missing library error since then. Being able to reliably install software across machines with different versions is huge and right now there is no better solution than nix.
