The web of dependencies for both build and execution can be maddening. This is why apt-get and yum have won: they take care of finding and downloading those 3246536245 libraries which are absolutely essential for each stupid two-liner application out there. And when it comes to large software (which you probably don&#x27;t manage on a chromebook), good luck downloading and compiling several GBs of KDE or GNOME source code with the right options for your hardware.
