You can never talk about package managers without the nix users coming out of the woodworks

@BrodieOnLinux we could also argue docker is a package manager I guess

@BrodieOnLinux From what I can tell, Nix is a very solid package manager. The only downside is that it is hard to learn/use and basically installs a lot of files that are, in their own right, an almost fully complete linux system when put together. It's only really good for NixOS, but not for minimalist systems, for example.VanillaOS' "package manager" is much more forgiving in this case.

@mephres I'm sure it's great and I need to check it out at some point, and the nix people will never let me forget about it

@BrodieOnLinux No doubt about that, and yeah, the Nix users seem a bit like the new Arch users, to be completely honest.

@BrodieOnLinux I've been using nix because of repl.it, and I'm starting to like it, even though it lacks a fair amount of the packages I want at times.It's the most "Flatpak like" standard package manager from what I've seen, and I'm kinda impressed.Though, I will stick to Fedora's offerings on my desktop until something breaks...
