it's always the same debian / ubuntu package mess. moving to Arch has made this specific headache entirely go away

  Can you have several versions of the same package with pacman?

  On an opposing note, updating my Arch system (pikaur -Syu) recently wanted to install Electron 20 and remove Electron 19, which the element-desktop package was still depending on. I wasn't using it so that's an easy uninstall. But there's nothing inherent about Arch that prevents these issues from popping up every now and then.

    > On an opposing note, updating my Arch system (pikaur -Syu) recently wanted to install Electron 20 and remove Electron 19, hm that's weird, with yay it only ever adds new electron versions, never removes the old ones. e.g. there's electron12 to 20 in the repos and they can be installed side by side
