    I’m gonna get hate, but I much prefer the independent distribution of exe files over package managers. I’ve still yet to have a good experience with a package manager. Almost all end up with outdated versions of software. My discord broke for a full day because the central arch repo hadn’t updated yet.

      If you look up Discord on the Arch wiki, you will find instructions to prevent this. In other words, RTFM! (/s, I also had to be directed there by some redditor while ago)

        I find that if I have to RTFM for my daily computer I’m always going to hate using it. I don’t like having to tinker with my operating system. It’s not fun, it just makes me hate Linux. There’s a reason I switched back to windows after a week. Nothing works and I’m not willing to waste hours of my time trying to fix it.
