I had one 4 months ago when installing an industry-standard SEO tool on Ubuntu. It was severe enough Ubuntu borked it’s own GUI. Though to be clear, my comment wasn’t saying I get one everyday - I was saying I would make the same choice if asked everyday. English is not my native language.
It’s common on Ubuntu/Debian. They’re stable releases, plus there are repos for them all over the place. This unfortunatelly leads to dependency hell, sooner or later. If you use only the provided repos, that will most likely never happen.
If I use the provided repos, the software is no longer compatible - the .deb conflicts with the packages in the main repos.
Compare it to Windows, where I don’t need to explain to my boss why installing a tool everyone uses made me have to go away for 2 hours. I just download the .exe and I don’t ever care about a “DLL conflict” from any repos whatsoever.
