Lack of a single standard way of installing and removing software.

Some software on my computer comes from APT, some are installed using deb file, some from Flatpak, some from Snap, some are AppImages, some are installed by a random shell script, some are Progressive Web Apps and finally some have custom installers (like Jetbrains). If I want to uninstall an app, I often don’t know where to even look.

All of that happens despite Linux Mint (the distro I’m using) have an app for installing software. It makes things a little easier, but still doesn’t cover every possible option.

thanks

What’s interesting is that people learning to code are more likely to say “I’m not using AI and I don’t plan to” then professionals.

Sounds counter intuitive to me because I expected professionals to be more conservative in that matter. They already have some habits developed, as opposed to new learners that in theory should benefit from AI because it makes doing simple things easier and can quite well explain basic concepts.

It’s like you bought a car and deliberately hit the wall to make a headline “cars make you disabled”. Or bought a hammer, hit your thumb and blame hammers for this.

Guys, it’s a TOOL. Every tool is both useful and harmful. It’s up to you how you use it.
