Congratulations, you've just described containers which should have no init or systemd.

Virrualization is better than containers if you’re processing a bunch of previously unseen data. A hypervisor has a much smaller attack surface than the almost-full rawdog kernel interfaces the container can touch.

You go on to complain about Mac and Windows support of older hardware, but we're in the FOSS thread. One of the huge reasons for using FOSS operating systems over the mainstream commercial ones is that they tend to support much older hardware; NetBSD takes this to extremes but even the more mainstream BSDs and Linuxen are expected to run on 25-year-old hardware as a matter of course. So if you've got some old hardware that you want to keep running and you're not satisfied with the support from the original OS vendor, give Linux or BSD a look.

But then you also complain about an older OS not supporting newer hardware. There's a limit to what extent an OS vendor can guess how hardware released in the future will work and guarantee compatibility with it, so I'm not quite sure what you're expecting in that regard.

Okay then, nigger, how about this: I want to get an older version of a lib.so file. Trying to get any older version that the main is virtually impossible or requires some absurd reach-around and fiddling with commands to even work properly. - I am also completely disallowed to download neofetch from package managers, simply because it's "deprecated", which is just one of the many packages which I'm completely disallowed from installing, so I have to just look for .deb files manually, somewhere, who knows. Python and Java are completely different cattle of fish whereby the latest version is automatically the "preferred" version, needing to overwrite config files to simply state which version of Python or Java are necessary, and now you also have a gazillion different Java and Python versions because Java 8 supports niggerfucking and niggercompsing while Java 21 doesn't but does support niggermenstruation. - Installing local diffusion models is such a major fucking pain in the ass because you need specific python version x, along with diffusion model y and also you need specific diffusion version number z. All of which used to be the latest but now you have to manually look them up, oh joy! (Thank fuck for Ollama LLMs).

Fucking NeoFetch made you this hormonal, dude?

Okay, look, package managers area really handy, but they're handy enough to forget that there are other ways to install software on a system. Usually you can find the project's Git repo and there will either be an INSTALL file or an install section in the README which will guide you through how to compile and install it. You might have to install dependencies first and do some annoying compilation steps but, at least for well-documented software which was written with an eye for broad compatibility, it's usually not that hard. In NeoFetch's case, since it's just a Bash script, you should be able to just clone the repo and then move the script into a $PATH directory.

As for your other example with the .so file, that's probably more complicated, but we're still talking about a FOSS OS so whatever version of the file you're looking for should be out there somewhere.

You completely miss the entire point of my posts, these are examples, these are not highly specific issues I have. I don't fucking care about Neofetch, I just use Fastfetch instead, it's an example to show that this does happen. Updates can just cause things to stop working entirely, simply because 'fuck you', and now you have to fix the issue yourself with little-to-impossible amounts of resources. And no, this is not a 'just do this, moron' case. (Old) Repo's get deleted, documentation gets removed, older packages get erased, this is a thing that happens.

repositories suck nigger dick because they put the maintenance work on some autistic retard and not the people actually making the software. until you can make a linux binary that will work everywhere forever by just pressing a button in your IDE without tinker trannying it's not gonna change

Probably the one thing I absolutely despise in modern computing. My computer should just work with everything out of the box, with internet. But, once you connect to the internet, it comes with such a mirage of issues and problems because “nuh uh, you’re not allowed to”. Older MacOS’s work perfectly fine, until you have to use anything with an internet connection because “durr we don’t maintain this anymore, eat shit”. Okay, are older versions available? “Durr, you REALLY want to download an OLDER version??? Urrr returd, that comes with security risks! We have to ‘protect’ your retarded ass because fuck you.” Would a non-computer literate person even be interested in the slightest about downloading an older version of software? No, I don’t want to use Edge, I want IE. No, I don’t want Manifest V3, I want V2. No, I don’t fucking want Microsoft Minecraft Launcher, I want basic-bitch Mojang Launcher. Nuh, uh, fuck you. All that software would work PERFECTLY fine if it was downloaded in the past and had the internet cord ripped the fuck out to disable updates forcefully. - Goddamn Windows 7 REFUSED to work back when Win10 was a few years old and I installed a new CPU because my CPU was “too new”. I’m still goddamn pissed about it ever since.

just download the source code and compile the old version??? git checkout is a feature on your computer for a reason.

I was in London for two days, probably lesser than he was, and I can't agree more on his sentiment. It's, without exaggeration, the most brown and black place I've ever been in. - Want to take a look at the majestic Elizabeth Tower? Err, sorry buddy, you got about a hundred Pakistani's in your way. Want to take those classic red doubledeckers? Ohh, sorry buddy ol' pal, the entire bus is taken by smelly niggers commuting from place to place. But what about London Underground? You bet your ass it's filled to the brim by the brownest of Jeets. - What I think makes it even worse is that the fucking tourist traps of just little stalls selling you overpriced Aliexpress garbage is all just niggers. Go into some main street? Niggers selling you shit. Go onto a bridge? Niggers stealing your shit. Go out and about? Niggers reeking of shit. The amount of whites I actually dared to see were all immigrants and actual Brits I could count on my fucking hands.

Nevermind all the absolute totalitarian dictatorship with Big Brother watching you constantly because of the rampant crime caused by niggers. Anytime you go onto Bri'ish WiFi you need to show your ID when you go into the slightest bit of raunchy content. Everything being quadruple as expensive as it should be. - Want to go there as a European? Well fuck you, that'll be 30$ to get a laisons, mate, plus tourist tax, plus a passport and now it costs 150$+ to even get in. When other European countries would not only let you in, but happily so, without even needing to check a loisons for that, just so you can spend your hard-earned money in other economies. Without rape gangs, tourist traps, inflated prices and dogshit commute. London is hell on Earth.

DHH is fucking objectively correct and some can't handle it because they've never fucking been in London in their life. Want to prove nay-sayers wrong? Throw them into London for a fucking day.

I was in Nottingham once and it was the filthiest shithole I've ever been in. Literally heaps of trash occupying the sidewalk that force you to walk on the road, homeless niggers sleeping or doing drugs on literally every single fucking street. As soon as I stepped on the train station I could smell feces and had to take a wide step over a pile of trash. Can't go a minute without smelling the dankest weed ever either.

At least in Mumbai it's all in the rivers.
