Word of mouth is the most powerful type of advertisement that no one is against.

Just curious, why are you using a 15 year old version of Ubuntu?

That’s a lathe…

Didn’t know about that, how exactly is that implemented?

No problem, just makr sure your system has the exact version of libraries the application needs. And oh, you will only update those dependencies when the application update updates the requirements.

Oh what’s that? Another application you want to install uses the same lib but different version? Tough luck, chump!

Seriously it’s either flatpaks or the multi-version dependency management that openSUSE has, and you’re not saving much more space here either.
