Perfect distros don’t exis

why on earth would you want that? if it were up to me software would stay the same forever.

well for example if you use a really old web browser there will be a lot of vulnerabilities that get patched in newer versions

>if you want fresh packages you have to sacrifice a bit of stability
No you don't. CI exists, stop living in the 90s

nope. you can have a very stable OS with bleeding edge packages. there's no reason an OS's stability has to be reliant on whether the packages are stable or not. should be other way around.

Linux isn’t for you.

takes too long to install and build packages

you tech illiterates have no excuses anymore

Bleeding edge is the antithesis of arable you absolute brainlet.

>compiling from source without your package mamager being able to track it
Install Gentoo

It's great but apt is just not a good package manager as pacman or xbps. Genuinely useful commands like listing explicitly installed packages aren't available without also passing through various filters. Searching for a package also includes searching of descriptions and is far too general. So when I'm searching for the package for a specific commonly used software it also brings up a million irrelevant results. But it is rock solid and debian testing is great for developing.

Apt is fine

>wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Binary_package_guide
still gotta build linux
i flubbed 2 gentoo installs because i couldn't find some specific driver in the gentoo install that my laptop needed to run. never had this issue with other distros that just pull all the drivers you need at once!

>he doesn't write his own kernel
Computers are not for you.

>I'm retarded and need to use bloated shit that includes a bunch of garbage in order to have a working system
literally genkernel all if you're a brainlet

are you retarded? this is why long term support releases exist.

>t. still using firefox 52

FF60 is the new LTR idiot

that's a little too bleeding edge for me, zoomer
if it were up to me, software would stay the same forever

the last time i installed gentoo was 2004 and it hasn't changed much since.

What does a kernel have to do with whether or not a distro uses old as fuck packages? I don't think Linux is for you, friend, as you seem confused as to what Linux is

nice meme but you shouldn't be using the linux kernel with any userspace if you are unable to compile C programs

>his package manager is the only way software gets on his system

Brainlet

List explictly installed packages which aren't dependencies in...
pacman:
pacman -Qet
xbps:
xbps-query -m
apt:
apt-mark showmanual |
tee /tmp/foo |
parallel "apt-rdepends -f Depends,PreDepends,Suggests,Recommends {} |
tail +2" 2> /dev/null |
tr -s ' ' '\n' |
grep -v '[():]' |
sort -Vu |
grep -wv -f - /tmp/foo
This is NOT okay

could you help me Jow Forumsuys?
Ive installed debian netinst and because I used "su" (due to no sudo package after install) for apt-get install xorg, i3 etc. (probably)
a lot of programs arent available, like "shutdown". if I whereis that, it shows its in /sbin/ or /etc/sbin/ and so on.
Is that a problem?
I added that /sbin/ to PATH in bashrc - found that soluition online.
But is it ok to have programs there? if not, what can i do? and ideally, how to prevent it in future?

shutdown requires elevated privleges

aptitude search '?installed ?not(?automatic)'
try reading a manual sometime, friend! :)

still lists dependencies

I can tell you haven't used apt much because none of this is true

it lists packages that weren't automatically installed as dependencies

Use su to install sudo and usermod your account to have sudo privilege. It’s like three commands.

That's why there is Debian SID

yo momma wants fresh packages

>it's about twice as stable as arch
(you)

>upgrade to testing
>screen locker immediately fucks itself and I have to go install xscreensaver
Fucking light locker, at least soon we’ll have an XFCE screen locker and login manager

>oh boy time to use and install this random package right now
>llvm and/or node dependencies
Or even just using any browser or any office suite in general.

I love Gentoo but using it as a daily driver without a thread ripper is just insane.

apt-get is depreciated, use apt "command"

Just use Slackware if you want a stable distro that doesn't completely blow. Otherwise chuck your PC in a river because most other distros are dogshit.
