How ever I do my best in these schools, I admit these courses were piece of crap at the time (this sentence breaks parasitans obligation to "Promise make only positive talks about school." required by every polish school and university at the beginning of first year of each learning course).

Do you mean a change in linked libraries. I have good example what I mean in your quote: I try to compile, under fresh Gentoo Linux, my C++ libs and programs that use Qt5. But Gentoo Linux maintainers remove package Qt5WebEngine. So in order to compile my libs and progs I must decide: 1. Drop Qt5WebEngine form my libs and progs; 2. Update my code to the newest Qt6. This is real example. This happen on the very beginning of config Gentoo Linux after all desired system provided packages. I do not even try to run any other of my, well over 100, Bash scripts. -- Have a nice day! Jacek Marcin Jaworski, Pruszcz Gd., woj.
