      You should try Nala it is just an extension over Apt so 90% of same commands works but it adds things like parallel download, history and way nicer user interface. If a command doesn’t work on Nala you can still use Apt since they are compatible

    flatpak is nice, … just not sure if you would just call it a package manager … but i guess for most people that description is close enough.

    Yay for Linux because it feels like the easiest way to upgrade, search and install. Scoop for windows because it is sane, only user level permission, and is surprisingly up to date with a large catalog. Also easy to add new entries.

    pacman. I have most experience with it and it just seems easier than apt once one learns the commands. less to write overall.

    APK, the alpine linux package manager. It is very fast, faster than pacman and it blows apt and dnf out of the water and APKBUILDS are not too hard to write.

    Definitely Nix, with flakes. Running on NixOS and Darwin. Also flatpak,appimage-run,docker when I’m too lazy to package, or when I simply don’t know how to (e.g. electron apps,dotnet)

    Currently I think that deb + flatpak is best combo. However with immutable systems become more mainstream that might change. However I do believe that flatpak will continue.

    Apt and pacman. I prefer pacman but apt is just ingrained in my synapses and, like vi, I just use it without thinking most of the time.

    I like pacman/yay enough to the point that I’m hesitant to use any distro that isn’t arch-based…

    I was reinstalling Linux on my laptop a few days ago and was thinking about going for Fedora, but leaving the AUR behind felt like too big a trade off lmao I’m lazy as hell

    So here I am with yet another install of Endeavour. I always go back to it.

    Docker. It’s a bit incomplete (regarding available packages) but you can do some really effective stuff like making your command run as nobody or even turning off the internet completely, but just for that co—

    —…ooooh. OOOOOH. Package manager. Please forgive my ignorance. Um…paru takes the crown for me, and nala if for some reason someone is pointing a gun towards my bun forcing me to use Ubloatu.
