@donkulator stuff of nightmares.

@donkulator to be fair, you have to be careful with apt as well. This is currently a supply chain attack vector. People are putting sketchy projects in repos all over the place. It is better than just downloading it though.

But now you know how it works and know it forever! Now you're happy user again until the next fucking thing. Yes, it's the Linux experience. A Rollercoaster. Reason I stick to Ubuntu is because I don't want to fuck with OS too, it must just worked and if it gets fucked, it's the most easy OS to find help for
I fucking hate installing shit on Ubuntu via APT when it's not provided by Ubuntu itself. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF TIME this will create problems with outdated keys or whatever. Then, to solve the problems of software that was supposed to be transparent, I have to go learn about layers upon layers of its inner workings and waste my fucking time. I suppose this is the Linux experience in general. But I don't want to know about GPG whatever whatever because there's no need for me to learn it outside of solving this stupid-ass fucking problem. I don't want to learn that sources.list.d is a fucking directory. I never EVER want to touch any kind of keys or whatever shit, I just want to follow some instructions and fucking install software in a simple way. curl whatever | sh it is, I don't fucking care.
All I want is to develop software, not dive into problems with my operating system because it decided to shit the bed.
