If it isn't in my distro's repos, I don't install it.

Presumably that’s because installing it would require an unreasonable amount of time and effort.
Meanwhile on Windows or macOS we can just download a nicely pre-packaged binary. It’ll either be statically linked or will bundle any dynamic libraries it needs, so we can just double click and start using it.

You dumb nigger. It's 2025, nobody is getting viruses.

>>105885978
Viruses are literally everywhere, I have to clean viruses off my family and friends shitdows and scamdroid systems

>>105885145 (OP)
If it isn't in my distro's repos, I add it to my distro's repos.

>>105886038
It sounds like your family is extremely low IQ. I hope for your sake that the reasons for this are not hereditary.

>>105886038
Viruses are basically defunct as a form of malware, it's impressive if theyve really got some without essentialy trying

If it isn't in Flatpak (or snap if there's no choice), I don't install it.

Linux already has this in the form of AppImage but people have to stop being autistic about package managers.
Package managers aren't a feature it's a cope because Linux maintainers don't know what a stable platform target is.

>>105886311
hackers have finally realized that it's more effective to download your entire application data than infect your machine

>>105885145 (OP)
if another package manager is in your distro's repo, and that package manager does have it, does that count as it being in your distro's repo?
