Easy: Nothing beats the simplicity of brew install whatever
or apt install whatever
, and then having whatever
just work, in my experience, pretty much every single time.
I’ve not had that experience. I’ve had to go hunting down package names on google before I can install it using the package manager, when instead I could have just downloaded it from their website.
Apt, brew and whatever Arch has have all had the same problems for me. They almost never work out of the box and they’re a major reason I don’t like using Linux on desktop.

It’s just a matter of what you’re used to.
Packet managers are quicker to use. They also keep everything up to date.
