I don’t use neither arch nor void, but I have to leave this unpopular(?) opinion out somewhere: xbps is a million times better than pacman simply for tracking dll dependencies.
xbps is the worst one out of all of them
Its interface is pretty meh I’ll give you that
You forgot RPM
You’re right. I did.
Yum too
Dnf is just updated yum, and both are backed by rpm
zypper
and portage
You forgot every linux user’s favorite package manager: Snap
…
🤮
Flatpak!
I guess snap goes on the pink suit.
🤮
apt purge snapHad to do that yesterday.
Have a Nextcloud instance running and wanted to upgrade from Ubuntu 20.04 to 22.04.
Couldn’t do it because Ubuntu would not connect to the snap-store because the service wouldn’t start.
A purge later and now I’m running Jammy Jellyfish.
I can’t type
dnfwithout thinking “did not finish.” I can’t even remember what it’s supposed to stand for anymore.Similarly, I read winget as “wing it”. The traditional package managers had better names: apt, yum, pacman. I know it’s a terrible reason to like a package manager, but still, a good name goes a long way.
You mean
do not fuck?dnfpackages or you might get paper cuts.
As someone who has to administer several hundred Windows servers and several thousand Windows workstations in our fleet (alongside our Linux and Mac systems), I was very sad that winget was not as good as I had hoped for. Chocolatey is still far better IMO, and neither is anywhere near as good as apt, rpm, etc.
choco
Don’t forget apk! It’s FAST!
No love for flatpaks?
There never was love for flatpaks and there never will be. I’ll never forgive them for killing my son.
I’ll never forgive them for killing my son.
Jeez, howd did you manage to fuck up a flatpak install that bad?
Shouldn’t have tried ricing the ECG display at the ICU.
Firefox flaptak, can’t play a video and go back a few seconds, or the video freezes but audio continues. Such a basic feature and it’s broken…
Which category would you put scoop in? I like it and use it regularly on windows, I find it much better than choco. No experience with Winget
Zypper
WingetUI handles winget, chocolatey and scoop. Nice little project for casual Windows users.
Too niche, don’t get it 🙄
Wish you guys would hurry up and figure out the appropriate communities to post in
Don’t you dare put nix together with these fossils of package management.
