This is why its so upsetting over in Linux land how so many people are just itching to move away from distro package managers and package maintainers. Curl | bash is everywhere now because "packaging is hard" and devs can't be arsed to actually package their software for the OS they developed it for.

Like, yeah I get it - it's frustrating when xyz software you want isn't in the repos, but (assuming it's open source) you're also welcome to package it up for your distro yourself. We already learned lessons from Windows where installers and "uninstallers" don't respect you or your filesystem. Package managers solved this problem many, many years ago.

What package manager would you recommend that allows a one line install on windows (wsl), Mac, debian, fedora and arch?
