    Easy: Nothing beats the simplicity of brew install whatever or apt install whatever, and then having whatever just work, in my experience, pretty much every single time.

        Packet managers are quicker to use. They also keep everything up to date.

          Personally I find them slower and less convenient. Like they said, it’s easier to do what you’re used to.

      I’ve not had that experience. I’ve had to go hunting down package names on google before I can install it using the package manager, when instead I could have just downloaded it from their website.

      Apt, brew and whatever Arch has have all had the same problems for me. They almost never work out of the box and they’re a major reason I don’t like using Linux on desktop.
