Isn’t this basically the banana cultivation problem of computing? Linux has pretty good genetic diversity with mutations and speciation happening on the regular, MacOS doesn’t have that variety, but is a genetically engineered abomination that’s regularly gene-edited to patch problems out.

As for Windows, I’d say it’s the Cavendish banana of operating systems.

Sadly enough, the same is applicable for regular programs..

If it were only this hard for bad stuff, you might have a point, but this also being an issue for good stuff is why linux is such a PITA to use....

I never have this problem, but I always install with pacman.
