  • It might be better to first learn about existing package managers: build some packages for rpm, apt, pac…etc.

    The fundamentals would be easier to understand from there to figure out what you actually want to write and why.

    At their core, packages are simply just bundles of flat files, and stages of scripts that get executed. That’s it. Like a zip file with scripts.

    Package Managers on the other hand are just clients that deal with the metadata and contents of packages and decide what to do with them. They go way deeper.







  • That’s…an opinion that is not backed by any facts at all. What in the world are you talking about with “bloat” 🤣

    So you’re a newbie, and making lots of wild claims and taking awfully opinionated positions in this thread all over the place. I don’t think you want help, so just be on your way 👍




  • You won’t need a terminal unless you refuse to use the GUI tools that do the same thing.

    If you want to use the terminal, go for it and use the default. If you eventually find it lacking THEN start investigating different options.

    Just use everything as you normally would otherwise, and you shouldn’t notice a huge shift.
