npub12lu88qyk2k68qyme4jq2w76xfq02d87gx6vgt3ukaff55jh72s8qh3prv9 (npub12lu…prv9) Today was Ubuntu 22.4 stripping out distutils in older Python versions like Python 3.8 (which they didn't do in Ubuntu 20.4), breaking pip unless you get it from the OS itself. In the past it has also included them not shipping pip and venv in-box and the various ways they patch Python in odd ways that make installation tricky.
It also doesn't help that they don't ship more Python versions like e.g. Fedora does.
