PSA: DO NOT INSTALL xx.04 releases!!!

  • The .04 stands for “April”, commonly known for “April Fools”.
  • Many projects use the term “LTS”, meaning “Lies, Tricks, and Slander”. So called ‘Enterprise’ users often promote these releases to “own the noobs”. Be warned!

    There are 2 wolves inside you.
    One uses the yay and can install anything from AUR.
    The other can install propreitery .deb packages your university vpn comes in to submit homeworks.

    There is a crow pulling both wolves by the tail called “bedrock linux” that can install packages using both apt and aur.

    The crow is the most dangerous.

      Bedrock Linux requires you to change distro.

      Let me introduce you to distrobox. It containerizes the distro of choice, and allows you to install any software of any distro, without messing any system files.

      Regarding the VPN case though, I haven’t tested it, but I would rather install any kind of proprietary software inside a VM. Steam may be an exception.

      You can just make an AUR package that downloads and installs the .deb

      Oh god… what happens when they both try to pull the same library as a dependency, but slightly different versions because different repos?
