One of the strongest points of Linux is the package management. In 2025, the world of Linux package management is very varied, with several options available, each with their advantages and trade-offs over the others.

    I personally love pacman. And of course AUR wrappers like yay.

    Pacman is simple and just works. No fuss.

      simple and just works.

      I’ve been updating enterprise linux hosts via cron for 25 years. I used to watch them. Now, given the quasi-rollback options and validation, I use repos I can trust and I review the payload after. It’s less resilient since EL7 (ohai Lennart) but still so very simple. I’ll thunderdome your OS Security chief on that as well.
