6 days agoI don’t see how it could be more effecient to have [a junior developer write] something that you then have to review and make sure actually works over just writing the code yourself…

Having to install apps manually and figure out dependencies myself because a popular piece of software only officially supports Ubuntu and Debian. No normal human would ever do this. They would go back to Windows. Hell, I still haven’t even gotten one piece of software to work on my new OpenSUSE system yet: Beyond Compare 4. [UPDATE: I got it from work. Either I was blind or they just added OpenSUSE instructions. ]
Why are there so many package managers with such different syntaxes? And why does one repo maintainer decide to call a package “package” and another calls it “package4”? Or some entirely different name! It’s maddening. I’ve had to create empty proxy packages that translate package names just to install some RPM file. Again, the average person is not going to do this.
In KDE plasma, the first thing most people do is set up Wi-Fi on their computer, but you need to set up KWallet first or else the password gets stored in some other dimension. I accidentally typed my Wi-Fi password wrong, and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to clear it out and make it ask me for the proper password when I try to connect. I even went into network manager and switched the network to say, “ask me every time”. It wouldn’t! It would just sit there and hang on “authenticating”. I never did figure it out. I ended up forgetting to encrypt my system partition, so I simply reinstalled the OS.

Because one single character typo and you just wiped out your system drive or some secondary HDD. It’s much safer to use a tool like Etcher.
