    Try installing something from homebrew.

    Oh you just want to install this one package here? Ok but let’s update 60 other packages first. Don’t worry, it will only take about one minute. Per package.

      When I was new to linux and got a raspberry pi 1. I was following some random guide to put retroarch on the pi. I did not know what I was doing, but it took at least 24 hours if not more.

      Years later I realized that the guide had me compiling it from source instead of just installing a precompiled package.

      Real talk I’ve been using this I’ve mashed together:

      update_brew() {
          bold=$(tput bold);
          normal=$(tput sgr0);
          brew --version &&
          echo "${bold} > brew update${normal}" &&
          brew update &&
          echo "${bold} > brew upgrade${normal}" &&
          brew upgrade &&
          echo "${bold} > brew autoremove${normal}" &&
          brew autoremove &&
          echo "${bold} > brew cleanup${normal}" &&
          brew cleanup &&
          echo "${bold} > brew doctor${normal}" &&
          brew doctor;
      }

    One of the reasons I love pacman. A whole system update within a minute or two (depending on the particular system ofc)

      It’s used for scripting. Apt specifically recommends against using it in scripts.

    I updated my RPi zero running pi hole today. I had to disable pi hole, and even then it took well past half an hour to update…

    I think everyone should try Gentoo at least once, for the experience. Why download binaries when you can compile everything?
