An operating-system without a package-manager is not maintable.

It hard to install, update or remove software. The validation of the system isn’t possible. Aside from the missing security.

On Windows changing a setting has become a horrible task for me. Where is it? Why does the search doesn’t find it? Should I try to find the Win32-Dialog from Win2k or is this setting in WinUI3 the same? Why I have to sit in front of an installer wizard an „click through it“?

On Steam I can do a file check of a game and it verifies its integrity? My wish. All package-managers on Linux should provide that :)



I haven't exactly ever tested myself this, but apparently most of the major distros have a way to do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Rosetta#Verification...
