    Try installing something from homebrew.

    Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.

      When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.

      Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.

    “Knock it off Julian, I know how good my coffee is, I’m the one who buys it. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys shit. I buy the more expensive coffee because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what’s on my mind right now? It ain’t the coffee in my kitchen…”

    I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?

    Until you find you need to upgrade your distro version since it’s too old and important packages no longer update:

    Do this with a typo in sources.list and uninstall the complete system at once. Happened to me once, happened to me twice. 10/10 will happen again

      It’s used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.

        … wait?

        Used for scripting, but not recommended to be used in scripting?

    This was me the first time I tried using a Raspberry Pi, I’d never experienced an update taking longer than a minute or two before then
