> Meanwhile, it's easy to build from source on Ubuntu and you can easily control its destination this way

word of warning: I spent a lot of years working off of "built from source" Python on Ubuntu and every once in a while I'd have really awkward issues downstream of me not realizing I was missing some lib when I built Python and then some random standard library was just missing for me.

I think it's all generally good, but real easy to miss optional package stuff.
