@nire oh goodness this subtoot applies in so many ways to my current woes with yarn
No, you shouldn't use the language's package manager to install our package manager, you must use your OS package manager

@nire umm whoops, subtoot was kinda the wrong word. Microrant?
@forivall @ikea_femme have you heard the good word of our Lord and savior, hallowed be their name, may they live forever and ever, Docker?

@nire Ugh, I just thought about installing Python's pip before recently. Especially on systems with ancient versions of python bundled.
