"This coexistence between superconductive and non-superconductive compounds may be the reason why certain LK-99 internet videos (if legitimate LK-99) showcased a phenomenon dubbed flux pinning, where external magnetic fields are able to penetrate the superconductor compound through the parts of it that aren't superconductive (everything that isn't lead-apatite), pinning it in place."
Thank you for your post, I was looking for something like altinstall, I wasn't aware of it. I've used dnf to install python3.8 side by side with the default python3.6 on Almalinux and they seem to work fine, but I keep wondering if I haven't broken something.
As long as you're installing/updating Python via your distro's package manager you won't break anything.
Most horror stories of borked system Pythons are caused by people uninstalling/updating packages from the system Python via pip or fiddling with their PATH.
altinstall is only useful if you have to compile Python from source to get it onto your system.
Enough is enough. Sam (facebook) should fork his work. Get him a dedicated team working on this, it's too important to abandon due to some bs politics.
