The problem isn't "apt" so much as "the system apt packages do weird things and as a result I can't build this open source package" or "I updated Ubuntu and now varnish and znc don't work even though I was using the system packages" or "the system apt package for mono is just plain broken and it conflicts with one I build from source, so I have to uninstall it" mundane gripe: Uninstalling an apt package is too complicated and it is beyond me why it isn't a single command in 2023. I have to skim stackoverflow answers every time I need to do it (multiple times a year).
