even though checkinstall is buggy and old, when it works it’s great.

    This is why containers are so popular. And reinstalling.

        even package managers will still put stuff in random places like binaries outside my $PATH… or not even clearly telling me what the binary is named or how to execute what I just installed.

          That’s just dumb work by whoever made the package, the package manager does as it’s told

          But you can do a proper uninstall. And the package manager can also give you a list of all files a package will install / installed, so you’ll find stuff even in random places.
