How do people not using Debian/Ubuntu follow along with tutorials when their package manager doesn’t have a package that’s in Apt?
Back in my slackware days I’d just convert other distros packages to the tgz format or compile the package and its requirements.
If the dependencies were really complex I’d draw a picture to help me understand them better.
I typically search the package name + fedora, it will probably tell me the alternative package that is in fedora.
Nowadays, I have moved to an atomic fedora distro, so I would severely limit the amount of package I install on my system for stability and security.
I think I only have two packages installed on my machine: fish, because it is the only popular shell that follows xdg dir; and a latex input method to use in slack.
