Most of the complaints here don't even have any suggestions, just a complaint that can be easily translated to "dependencies in software are hard to manage". Well, no shit. How about some interesting ideas around this from the "hackers"?

The ideas that are proposed are mostly things that have already been tried but have failed because of social/manpower reasons (they would take enormous amounts of effort and time from all involved for little benefit) or technical (they don't work)

A large percentage complain that the distro in question updates too frequently, when there are clearly distros that cater to stability (they just aren't the "cool ones").

Some of the complaints are demanding some mythical OS that allows you to install it once, never have it update or change but still have access to all the newest software. That would be wonderful. No one has figured that out yet, not windows, not mac, not any *nix.

I know bitchy comments aren't helpful, or likely to be well received, but there must be some other people of my ilk still on HN. Now that it's Product Guy News, where should I be going? Where is this story posted with people actually talking about interesting ways to improve things who actually understand the problem and could be called hackers without the technically skilled people laughing?
