And Linux is particularly a nightmare when it comes to graphical things.
- cycomanic 3y agoActually I would argue the reason that every language is inventing their own poor package manager, is because other OS don't have proper package management. As I said in the previous post, I hardly ever have issues with my system packages. Helping people set up an environment to develop cython code for windows on the other hand is an absolute nightmare.
- adgjlsfhk1 3y agoHave you used Julia's package manager? Imo, it works better than apt and snap (I don't have enough experience with RPM/flatpack to compare)
- bmitc 3y agoI would say most language package managers I have used are easier than than any Linux package manager I have used.
