I have used Linux since the Yggdrasil days where you had to compile
everything from scratch. Now, even in the AUR compilation is a simple
process requiring no technical knowledge on the part of the user to
build and install packages, save a couple of commands to be entered in
the shell.
I don't miss those days at all.
