Oh god yeah that's the fate of snap and flat pack.
Install OBS studio, current version has some issues oh look there's a flat pack install the flat pack instead. OBS runs great. Oh, I need some plugins Go to install the plugins, The plugins folder isn't where it belongs. I scrape along and find the plugins folder I try to shove them in there doesn't work. Oh I need to find the flat pack installer for the plugin.... But half the s*** I want isn't available.
I truly appreciate them trying to make things more universal and easier. But it's a fine line we're walking between easy but unconfigurable and non-standard complicated but flexible.
Worth noting, this meme is from the time before Arch had an easy installer. So that's probably what it's referring to. I joined Linux almost 4 years ago, and this meme already existed then. I dunno how old it really is.
This sounds like my Ubuntu xp as well. Although I haven't had the arch xp to compare it against which makes me slightly hesitant to jump in.
I'm pretty tempted to revamp my old laptop to arch though. Just needs funds for enough personal storage first.
I totally get that
