One of the strongest points of Linux is the package management. In 2025, the world of Linux package management is very varied, with several options available, each with their advantages and trade-offs over the others.

    Perhaps the message is changing now, after they have kind of caught up finally. How long did it take, 20 years?

      It’s still the same apt. I believe fedora now uses something else, dnf or something like that. Either way, apt has worked fantastic for me for 99.9% of the time in the past 20 years, I’m not complaining

        Fedora has always used their own. Dpkg was released in 1994, RPM in 1997.

        My comment was about Windows and MacOS kinda catching up in 2020s.
