I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you asking for help? If so, be more
specific. What doesn't work? How doesn't it work?

Debian-based systems are miles ahead of things like windows or macos in
terms of deployment and management of installed software, but ONLY if
you actually use the packages. If you go out and start installing your
own dependencies behind the back of the package manager, you get no
benefits.
