I get what you mean, but the way you worded it makes it seem like you experienced dependency hell for 20 out of 25 years...

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 months ago

Dependency hell happens when you try to go against your distro and install something. Someone who used Linux for 20 years probably found a distro that works well for them, hence the no dependency hell.

Or they just stopped tinkering. Either case is solvable by Nix/Flatpak/Bedrock/20+ other solutions
