Understand the difference between apt and apt-get in Debian and Ubuntu. When to use each tool, how the commands map to each other, and which one belongs in your scripts.
uv’s speed comes from engineering decisions, not just Rust. Static metadata, dropping legacy formats, and standards that didn’t exist five years ago.
Released in 2024, uv is hands-down the best tool for managing Python installations and dependencies. Here's why.
For the last ten years or so of working on Bundler, I’ve had a wish rattling around: I want a better dependency manager. It doesn’t just manage your gems, it manages your ruby versions, too. It doesn’t just manage your ruby versions, it installs pre-compiled rubies so you don’t have to wait for ruby to compile from source every time.

The universal packaging system from Fedora is popular among developers and desktop Linux users.
pyx is a Python-native package registry from the creators of uv.
This tutorial explains why Flatpak apps use so much disk space and are larger in size compared to traditional packages in Linux.
I am sharing how I packaged my python application into an executable .deb package in this tutorial.

To me, though, it is a fascinating feat. It feels magical when a machine solves an abstract problem like that, with minimal input from me as a user! I was, therefore, delighted when the nice folks at Prefix.
