Well that was a depressing read

Unfortunately, the last panel isn't happening in real life

Thoughts as its own data structure, not associated with a language or words, sounds so interesting and yet so foreign to me

There are pretty much no support systems in place for situations like this in most places. So, exile can mean starvation and more where I'm from. I don't know about where OP is from though.

This was why I loved Esdeath's backstory in Akame Ga Kill.

Is it okay to join even if we're not European and are just interested in European online services?

Nix is a great suggestion and I think i will be using it moving forward as well. Thanks. Ideally I want to use NixOS, do you know if secure boot is still a pain point with NixOS?

npm is JS-specific

I don't want to use a distro package manager for certain software because nearly every distro except Arch requires adding third party repositories which can stop getting updates at any second.

Don't worry, I understand the intricacies of these problems a lot more deeply than you probably realise. As a developer, it can suck when your "hotfix" cools down by the time a distro gets around to packaging it. And as a packager, you're human in the end. As a user though, you just want stuff to work.

As a longtime Linux user, this isn't really a problem for me, none of this is. But what about a new user? We need to address these issues at some point if we want Linux to be truly user-friendly.

What's a good package manager right now for stuff like this if i don't want to use the distro package manager though? I want up to date versions of these tools, ideally shipped by the devs themselves, with easy removal and updates. Is there any right now? I think Homebrew is like that? But I wish it didn't need creating an entire new user and worked on a user account basis.

In an ideal world, i would want to use these tools in such a way that I can uninstall them, including any tool data (cache, config, etc), and update them in a reliable manner. Most of these tools are also hellbent on creating a new "." folder or file in the home folder ignoring the XDG spec.

They're also funding KDE and arch linux devs right now
