my absolute favorite thing is when you boot a debian/ubuntu system and you need to immediately install something with apt or a wrapper and it's like "NOPE, CAN'T! AUTOUDPATE RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND"

Little-mentioned nice thing about Gentoo: emerge uses fine-grained locking, you can run multiple instances at once and they won't step on each other.

The apt package ships a cron script + systemd units that run apt update (and I think apt upgrade --download-only) once or twice a day by default. I believe this holds the apt lock.

Snap packages are even more fun: they're autoupgraded silently in the background at random unpredictable times, but running apps are not restarted (thank you, I guess), which breaks Chromiums browsing session saving as a side effect.
