Im so pleased whenever I see developers hosting their own repos. It just feels like its meant to be, straight from the source and official.

Until you do a major release distro upgrade :)
I used the stones…to destroy the stones
*gulp*
to be fair though I did a major upgrade on a raspberry with jellyfin and miniflux repos without any backups. (as its just for personal use and recreating configs from scratch would maybe be even beneficial) i was surprised that everything just worked.
to be completely fair though it was bookworm > trixie where they had some time now to fix problems.
I ignored hyprland warning me for months that it was going to stop using .conf files to configure it and to switch to .lua files. Then one day I updated and it broke everything lmao. Took an evening of migrating everything
I’m praying my install of Kubuntu will be fine for a little longer before I have to rebuild completely, I really don’t want to reinstall obscure shit
Some time ago I started using distroboxes for most things. I have a distrobox with vscodium and Go installed, another distrobox for typesetting with TeX, another for a project that needed weird dependencies installed, etc. Most standalone GUI programs as flatpaks. The result is a Debian base that stays vanilla and predictable. The downside is having to keep the distroboxes updated individually. But upgrading the base system is never stressful.
Microsoft packages?
Just for vscode :)
Ewwww, have you given vscodium a go? Same thing without the ms spyware.
Yea i used to when I was still on MacOS. But didn’t really saw the big advantage since you can disable telemetry and ai features with two fairly big switches in vscode anyways. I do not need the wider OS support and there are some extension that are not on OpenVSX (The C++ one by Microsoft I think). But since I just saw that they also have an official repo for debian I might give it another go. :)
Yeah, with Arch, I don’t always get that luxury it is often packaged by someone else because nobody wanted to actually configure their shit to run on Arch natively. ROFL Aside from Steam and a select few. So my “garuda-update” pull from indirect, but reasonably trusted pipelines.
