I have been using linux for about 2 years now and I have enjoyed every second of it. What in your opinion is the best package manager the linux community has ever offered to us? dpkg, apt, yum, pacman, xbps, zypp, nix, guix, portage, 0install and other tons of them that are out there.

    I guess that goes along with the “hard to learn/use” for package creators. I have come across a couple packages that seem to do the packaging wrong, like Delta Chat recently updated to the tune of 500 megabytes, and I already had it installed! Most apps when they get updated download a few kilos here, a few megs there, but when I complained about it to the devs their response (on more than one occasion) was something like, “Well that’s just how Flatpak works.” I suspect though they’re doing something wrong and their packaging process could somehow be improved.
