Distro creators really need to start working together and coming up with some common (not singular) solutions to the problems.

i dont get why people like packages so much, if windows programs/games stopped asking where you wanted them installed then there'll be endless complaining about it so why are people allowing package managers to do things they should be doing?
users should not be forced into anything which is why i prefer to build the programs myself, i choose what parts to build and where they end up, that way i know exactly what security problems can affect my computer without wondering "did some random person compile that feature?"
