I only use Gentoo for a small bit, so I can't comment on it, and I haven't used the other thing ever. I wish linux a culture similar to the bsds when it came to ports stuff. /usr/local is barely used if ever.

I am only using them and they seem very kino. I don't do anything complex with them, but, I like that adding new repos is as simple as reponame.url = repourl and then you can use its stuff after adding it to your outputs
Same. Exactly. Packaging can be a bit more complex, but once you get it, it's great. There's even the NUR, but I havent used it.
It's so kino. Incredibly hard to learn and much more to master, but much more powerful. Nothing beats easily modifying a derivation's source, or adding patches or build options or whatever you want.
Things are getting better as snaps and flatpaks gain popularity, but both of those systems have lots of issues of their own, and arguably aren’t anywhere near as good as a proper native package for your distro. Flatpaks don’t really work for CLI tools. Snaps are stupidly slow. Both snaps and flatpaks still struggle with theming. Applications installed with either take up way more space than their natively-packaged equivalents.
Flatpaks would beat native packages if they didn't have a trillion papercuts and issues. I'm on NixOS because I want to avoid using flatpak.
Fedora has COPR, Opensuse has the OBS (which also works for other distros), NixOS (my beloved) has overlays...
it's mostly focused on adding pleroma/akkoma support. It can show and add custom reactions (only when someone else has already added one on a post), and some other stuff. But it's not a good app. Images take ages to load!
That's so nice. Husky for Android (pleroma/akkoma/soapbox) app works nicely, but is broken in some places and aesthetically outdated.
Thanks, I used to use Bing as my default search engine for a while and it sucked for anything if you needed more than the 1st page of results
fuck, thats good
I dont have links in hand, but I remember the flatpak devs saying they targeted/care about desktop gui apps. It's one of the reasons why I won't use flatpaks anytime soon if ever
