        Only problem I’ve bumped into with that is that the “python” command doesn’t work out of box on most newer Linux machines. It definitely doesn’t take hours nor any repairs to install “python3-is-python” and get that working either (if I care).

          Try using outdated tools with deprecated dependencies, and then those deprecated dependencies need old versions of libs you have the newer versions installed.

            I mean I’ve done a thing or two but honestly the worst problem I’ve had in recent years is trying to get a flatpak to work in Linux mint / newest Ubuntu because something about Qt had changed.

            For the most part it works, without the ads, unlike the “competition”. I also get an advantage in that it’s basically a native thing for me at this point, so I’m better than a lot of my co-workers at using it (which is inevitable because Linux is basically the entire Internet).
