Can we please go back already? It’s such a freaking mess I don’t even know where to begin.

Duck that shyt. From the bottom of my heart.

    Back to the days of conflicting dependency versions?

    Back to the days of manually compiling every program you want to use?

    Back to the days of manually unpacking a .deb because the developer didn’t offer a package for your distribution?

    Back to the days where every program can read your ~/.ssh, write to your ~/.bashrc?

    …

      No back to the days where I could fucking install inkscape and it worked.

        You can still do that from the repos, such as

        sudo apt install inkscape

        What’s the difficulty?

          On a ubuntu based distro i recently had the issue that the offered version of inkscape was very old. Some website said to get a current version you should try a flatpack or snap or so. 3 senior hackers were unable to get them to work at all. I imagine OP has had similar problems.

          I use arch btw.
