Somehow I magically am typing this on an LTS system with the latest usptream versions of Firefox, slack, discord, blender, vscode, libreoffice, OBS, spotify, golang, and node, all without PPAs or stackoverflow.

I get it you use Arch, but you should perhaps educate yourself on how other distros work before throwing shade?

Between snap, flatpak, and appimage, a lot of those issues really go away. Regardless of distribution or version.
