Yeah, that is true as well. I meant Debian/Ubuntu because it has the most 3rd party repos available. But yes, if you have more than one package manager, then things will most likely go south after a while as well.

That is true... though dll hell was also somewhat of an issue with Windows, but they managed that with WinSxS.
This is why rolling release distros are the way to go for desktops. I found this out early on. But, on the other hand, I get that people in corporate environments like to use stable releases.
I would suggest Void as a really stable rolling release distro for personal use (corporate probably won't go with this, there is no legal entity backing the distro, it's just a bunch of people maintaining it). It's not bleeding edge like Arch, but more like cutting edge. They do pick and choose when to update/upgrade to stable releases of kernels and other packages, so it really is a lot more stable than Arch.
It's common on Ubuntu/Debian. They're stable releases, plus there are repos for them all over the place. This unfortunatelly leads to dependency hell, sooner or later. If you use only the provided repos, that will most likely never happen.
That's a Debian/Ubuntu specific issue. Repos all over the place, so yeah, you will break things eventually.
Yeah, to be honest, they're less and less common, especially with rolling release distros.
Not everyone has top notch tech, or the money to afford it. 128GB for a phone is more than enough storage space, so if the price of the 256GB model is 30 or $40 plus, I'd opt for the 128GB model as well.
Yes, I do agree. The one that haunts my dreams: the credentials one 😤. Credentails come up and you start typing and... nothing.. god damn it, not again!
I think it's obvious I'm a sysadmin 😂.
It is actually easier than you think. With the help of the devs, you could easily solve your problem, plus make them aware of the bug and fix it in upcoming releases. It might take a few days of messages on git back and forth with them, but in the end, yes, you will most probably solve your problem.
No, you Google the shit out of that particular problem, visiting reddit, forums, blogs and god knows what else, find a few bunch of registry files or reg snippets, copy/paste that, do a sanity check on each and every one of them, backup the registry (or a part of it at least), import them one by one in the hope that one of them fixes the problem... and then you discover that these were meant for Windows 7 and not 10 and that 10/11 had that shit removed or doesn't actually obey that registry entry (a bug, they will fix it... some day...) and then just give up and learn to live with the problem.
Never ever buy combo shit. Remember the DVD reader/CD burner combo crap back in the day? They were good at neither reading or burning anything. Thank god the fully featured DVD burners went down in price and these things died.
The memory dump it does is useless... like anyone is ever gonna take a look at that memory dump. Disable it, it just wastes disk space.
I usually repack in cases like this (not in repos). It's fairly easy in Arch and Void (haven't tried Portage in Gentoo yet).
