How complete is the software catalogue for your needs?

How complete is the software catalogue for your needs? Have you needed to compile anything manually?

Work System - 981 packages / 36000 = 2.7%
hz4 - Primary Home System - 1667 / 36000 = 4.6%
hz240 - Secondary Home System - 993 / 36000 = 2.7%

The catalogue has fullfilled any application need generally with alternatives over the last year.

I find the software catalogue to be significantly incomplete. There are simply not enough contributors to meet the demand, so I often compile the software I need myself.

I spend much of my time making applications that work on Linux run properly on GhostBSD. I do not see this as a problem, this is something I genuinely enjoy. My recent challenges include getting the Vivaldi web browser and the Warp terminal to work. When something is not open source, I do not mind reverse engineering the application as it provides good mental stimulation. :-)
