I’m gonna get hate, but I much prefer the independent distribution of exe files over package managers. I’ve still yet to have a good experience with a package manager. Almost all end up with outdated versions of software. My discord broke for a full day because the central arch repo hadn’t updated yet.
This is actually true and it’s a big reason I prefer FreeBSD for a lot of things (if I don’t need containerization).
Distros always ship totally old software and slam the filesystem with trash everywhere.
FreeBSD on the other hand lets you easily compile the exact features you want and usually pretty recent versions. I had lots of luck while doing crazy stuff with nginx.
If you look up Discord on the Arch wiki, you will find instructions to prevent this.
In other words, RTFM! (/s, I also had to be directed there by some redditor while ago)
