Nowadays you can use Flatpaks, snaps, appimage, your system package manager and so much more, the act of installing linux software has never been more confus...
I'm trying out a ublue image of fedora silver blue, so I mainly use flatpacks, then rpms in a rootless distrobox.
This setup works pretty for me well since updates can be easily automated. That and I don't have to clutter up my main system with packages related to development.
Its a pretty interesting way to use Linux. It works incredibly well for what I need. I'd definitely recommend at least give it shot, though it might not be for everyone.
Great video. I prefer to install DWM and ST with pacman from the modified repo on my machine, so pacman keeps track all the files that are being moved into the system directories.
