    having 2 or more package managers

    Are you referring to Bedrock?

      No, just a bad experience trying to actually run 2 of them on the same system. One was the main, the other was supposed to “patch” what the first one lacked… and then I realized that compiling from source and packaging with the original (first) package manager is a lot less painful than trying to juggle with both of them.

        Oh that’s what you mean. I’m wondering, what did you do to be able to use 2 at the same time?

          Well, you just set the second to ignore all inconsistencies regarding libraries and binaries from the first one. It sounds easier than it is to actually put in practice 😂.

          I was just experimenting, trying to see if the trouble is worth it… it’s not. Way too many ways to still fuck up your system… and I eventually did 😂. Luckily, I use BTRFS with snapshots, so no harm no foul, I just rolled back everything from the day before I decided to install the second package manager.

            Oh I see, well that sounds like it was an experience, maybe not a really good one though XD

            Good on you for keeping snapshots, they’re real life savers!
