That's not good. It breaks the system as there isn't any change control with that unless your using something like Gentoo. Get your packages from the package manager.

None of the packages I compile from source are essential to my working system. I have a private chatbot to test, some emulators and dsda-doom.

Every one of those programs can be one or two versions obsolete and it won't make a difference.
