[$] Package managers all the way down
Package managers are at the core of Linux distributions, but they are
currently engulfed in a wave of changes and it's not clear how things will
end up. Kristoffer Grönlund started his 2017 linux.conf.au talk on the
subject by putting up a slide saying that "everything is
terrible awesome". There are a number of frustrations
that result from the current state of package management, but that
frustration may well lead to better things in the future.
