> the problem is not unsolvable
Perfectly true, and my comment was the kind of irritated snark about imperfect open source software that I don't like hearing from other people! It just so happened that I had launched Software literally about 5 minutes previously for the first time in months and it .. sat there and did nothing.
I do think it's a good idea though, at least while we have this hopefully transitional period of multiple overlapping packaging/update systems. I get a bit tired of having to think in terms of flatpack and dnf and asdf and cargo and pnpm and .. not to mention all the odd bits and pieces I install & compile from source and forget to update.
