What the issue with apt, pacman, and the others? I think they’re doing their job fine.

No, you just need the manuals. And there are books too. And yes the difference between BSD and GNU is not obvious at first glance. But they’re different software worked on by different people.



Both of the points I made are what really are tragic:
