      Apt feels like one of the faster package managers. dnf is slow, yum is snail speed, zypper is slow as fuck too. Apt and Pacman is by far on the faster side

        Dnf5 is absolutely not slow.

        Moreover, apt’s output is God awful. How hard is it to put each package on its own line when doing an upgrade? Its commands are also esoteric (Madison?)?

        It works and I like Debian but apt is very Meh.

      Compared to what?

      I know redhat has a new package manager which name I can’t recall now but before it was rpm with yum and holy crap that was molasses slow

      I have strong doubts that rust could significantly speed up a software that’s written in C or C++.

        Rust is generally not going to outperform well optimized C code.

        That said, it is far easier to write performant Rust code than C code. So, what we see, is that projects that move to Rust frequently see performance gains.

        That just means the initial C code was not that great (performance wise). From observation, most C projects are fairly unoptimized.
