Uh...

Implying other operating systems don't also have package managers. There's myriad Unix-like operating systems (and one fully-ceritifed Unix I can think of) which can run that exact same software stack.
- overshard 15y agoOk, I should have put *nix then, I use FreeBSD occasionally too. Seems like you're just trying to troll... However, most people do deploy to Linux distros.
- getsat 15y agoShowing that your claim was baseless/anecdotal is trolling? The word "trolling" doesn't mean anything anymore.
- thwarted 15y agoYeah, but few people actually run their production environment on that "fully certified UNIX", so if your goal is to be as similar to production as possible, that those package managers exist elsewhere is meaningless.
- getsat 15y agoSure, but that doesn't support his claim that Linux is "easier" to develop in, which is what I was refuting.
- ori_b 15y agoMost require more setup to get to that point, either through being a bit more fiddly to set up (eg, the BSDs), or through simply not shipping with a decent package manager (eg, OSX, where the package manager isn't even comprehensive -- you have to manage different software from different places). Sure, with more work you can get stuff up to the same ease of install, but with most Linuxes it's all working out of the box.
