I'm trying to help update a Drupal site from 7 to 9. There are 95 installed plugins that need to be replaced due to not being updated for new versions of Drupal. That's just what happens when you rely on community maintenance over years and major version changes.
Man I haven't played with Linux for a while but back in the early 00s it was a dumpster fire of dependency hell!
