@BrodieOnLinux I was under the impression that pip now detects this and installs it in your user, so no root permissions required? 🤔 Still a good message nonetheless

@minkiu It's up to the distro how it's handled, Arch and Debian take the venv approach

@minkiu @BrodieOnLinux pip never did that, some distros probably patched that in. The above is a pip native solution that should now work for every distribution. Checkout PEP668 if interested. Installing to --user either way can have a chance of user errors even if full system breakage is avoided like with installing system wide. bugs.gentoo.org/902027 :P
