    I wish I had known about Debian and apt back then! I spent years distro-hopping because I was so tired of chasing down RPMs in redhat. Like seriously, you can’t just tell me everything you need, and grab all those files at once when I try installing a package?

      Ugh. I’ve been a Debian (and derivatives) user since the late '90s, and you’re unlocking memories of what chased me away from Red Hat distros back then.
