Back to the days of conflicting dependency versions?

Back to the days of manually compiling every program you want to use?

Back to the days of manually unpacking a .deb because the developer didn't offer a package for your distribution?

Back to the days where every program can read your ~/.ssh, write to your ~/.bashrc?

No back to the days where I could fucking install inkscape and it worked.

You can still do that from the repos, such as

sudo apt install inkscape

What’s the difficulty?

On a ubuntu based distro i recently had the issue that the offered version of inkscape was very old. Some website said to get a current version you should try a flatpack or snap or so. 3 senior hackers were unable to get them to work at all. I imagine OP has had similar problems.

I use arch btw.
