That is true on any LTS distro. Try rolling release, works without a glitch almost every time... well, at least on Void it does.

I read the previous comment and thought to myself "I bet there is some reply about LTS vs rolling release to this". I KNEW IT!

Yep, been in the same boat ๐Ÿ˜‚. Was an LTS fan for a long long time till I realized... this shit ain't worth it ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Everthing there is out there in 99% of the cases compiles against latest libraries. And well, LTS is just... lagging behind ๐Ÿคท. So, you solve one lib dependcy and then, bam, another one pops up... OK, solved that one, bam, another one ๐Ÿ˜’... it just gets frustrating to compile stuff on LTS.

And then you get all sorts of errors from the package manager cuz you did the unthinkable - install latest libs on an LTS distro.

LTS is good for one thing only nowadays - servers.

Interesting. I did not know about that. I'll be sure to give rolling a try then.
