Switching from macOS to Pop_OS
This is a little off-topic, but I've been wanting to switch from Windows to Linux and the one thing stopping me is the lack of a good package manager. WAIT, let me explain.<p>On Windows, you can just `scoop install ripgrep fzf jq` and you're in business. And updating all installed packages is one command away.<p>Meanwhile on Debian, the system packages are often years out of date. So authors have started making their own custom install scripts [1], or just telling you to `curl` the binary into /usr/bin [2]. To update these manually-curled binaries you need to run a different set of steps for every one. There's no way to list outdated apps, and there's no easy way to update everything.<p>On top of that, many apps I use aren't even packaged (k9s, broot are two random ones I just found). Sometimes you can find a third-party repo, but that's yet another person you rely on to get updates. Whereas with scoop, it fetches straight from the source, so there's never any waiting.<p>Is there some alternative to `apt` that everyone is using? Or how do people generally deal with this?<p>[1]: <a href="https://starship.rs/guide/" rel="nofollow">https://starship.rs/guide/</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation</a>
