Dpkg is nowadays rock solid. I had 300 debians working together and auto updating at the same time, never had an issue.
managing dépendances when building from source, apart from Gentoo being built around the emerge management, no other package manager has any clue about source building dependencies.
confused about what’s the problem when using 'buntu while it’s updating.
admittedly it’s been a couple years since I last used Ubuntu, and it may have gotten better in that time
I was talking about the AUR
see my first response. I remembered Ubuntu occasionally doing what Windows does and forcing a reboot, then spinning for 10-15m doing god knows what. Glad to hear they’ve fixed that
as for the last one I was talking about the fact that Canonical is willing to do that in the first place. It’s not the snap itself, it’s the fact that I told it to install a native package and it decided for me what I wanted. Shit like that is why I left Windows behind. “You don’t really want to set your default browser to something other than Edge, do you?”
Tha aur is cheating, it’s basically a script to install the correct dependancies. It’s also not integrated natively into pacman so it’s not related to the package manager itself.
I don’t know what you’re mostly on.

Agree with this one. Fuck Canonical
same as above.
so it’s snap the problem then?

Ok I understand what you mean for your last point
