    I get what you mean, but the way you worded it makes it seem like you experienced dependency hell for 20 out of 25 years…

      Dependency hell happens when you try to go against your distro and install something. Someone who used Linux for 20 years probably found a distro that works well for them, hence the no dependency hell.

      Or they just stopped tinkering. Either case is solvable by Nix/Flatpak/Bedrock/20+ other solutions

      Yeah, could have worded that better. I’ve had some dependancy issues here and there over the years, especially in the early days (20+ years ago) but since like 5 years or so I haven’t seen anything
