I think this blog post is a great example of the really sad state of package managers. It uses a bunch of them:

* firefox extensions

* pacman/yay

* flatpak

* prezto

* goenv

* fnm

* cargo

Then it also installs some applications manually:

* nvidia-inst

* insomnia

The fact that people have to go through this many to get everything one wants feels like a shortcoming of everything else.



Good thing that for me everything out of that list is replaced by nix :).
