Is it weird to try to behave perfectly? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I'm not OP but, I think it says a lot about the kind of person you are if you're even just thinking about trying your best constantly. Plus your life honestly sounds close to the ideal that most people here are chasing, if you're content with that that, then I don't think there's anything wrong with continuing to live your life as you fit. Also, I think everyone always has things they could do better and that's just how it is

I love how by default most tables were wooden and the balls were mostly about baseball size

Usually, I prefer manually installing the packages needed for getting started with a new language or technlogy.

I avoid using distro package managers since they tend to be a bit outdated in this regard, and specialised package managers like SDKMAN! seem overkill for one or more packages. Exceptions being languages with excellent tooling and version management like Rust or Ocaml.

I've been doing this for a while and was wondering what the general consensus is

Edit: Thanks for your replies everyone! I've decided to stick with my distro package manager.

I had this set-up a couple months ago, no glaring issues that I can remember, but I also don't have any fancy hardware so...
