New Thoughts About Package Management
On my Linux computers, I like to use only the system wide package management to
install software. On Fedora that is RPM, on Ubuntu that have been Debian
packages. Software that is in the repository can be installed with a simple
dnf install PROGRAM and can be uninstalled with dnf erase PROGRAM. One can
be certain that all files that have been installed are removed again; the only
leftovers can be configuration files which one sometimes wants to keep around.
