Which C++ redistributable do I need to run this program? It’s not the newest one or the year before that. It’s not the one provided by the installer. It’s 2013 (in this case only)!
Luckily, glibc is mostly backwards compatible. You can still hit issues if you have a binary blob that’s been compiled against a newer version of glibc than what comes with your distro, or if it’s compiled against an extremely old version of glibc, but that’s not too common.
Why does every distro need yet another package manager
A lot of them have been around for a very long time - dpkg (then apt) since 1994, RPM (then yum then dnf) since 1997 - and there’s no one package manager that’s clearly better than the others.
APT is so nice and easy… I hope DNF is the same.
dnf is just as easy, and in my experience, Fedora’s repos are pretty comprehensive and have a lot of things that Debian’s and Ubuntu’s don’t.
