“This is a rant. But I’m so angry and frustrated right now that
you’re just going to have to live with the rant. And, for you Linux
people, you who know it all and look down upon the people who don’t
spend day and night breathing in the insane arcana of all the
little fiddly bits that make up modern distros, I have this to say:
I don’t have your kind of time.I’ve had it with all the different package managers. With some
code distributed with one package manager and other code
distributed with other package managers. With modules that can be
downloaded on Ubuntu just by typing the sequence in the anemic
how-to, but won’t work at all on CentOS or Fedora, because the
repositories weren’t specified in just, exactly, EXACTLY, the right
frickin’ order on the third Wednesday of the month.
