Installing a bunch of things isn't a problem (until you discover a conflict that someone else didn't). But there were people who insisted on they must install absolutely everything. As well as the potential for there being more problems the more things installed, there were packages that were mutually exclusive (you can't have both at the same time). And there's zero point into trying to install Nvidia packages when you don't have Nvidia hardware, for example. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
