I've been on Debian based distro most of my Linux time, so apt is fairly dear to me (also just werks unless you're doing some massive shenanigans like mixing different Debian releases).

That being said, I've been eyeing Guix for some time now. Maybe once I get my act together and reinstall one of my laptops, I'll try it.

@StampedingLonghorn Nix from NixOS :)

@StampedingLonghorn slackpkg :) #slackware

@StampedingLonghorn I love me some Zypper, especially in combination with Snapper.

@StampedingLonghorn I don't know about the dnf upgrade process being complicated. Three commands seems about the easiest path of them all. And what's more i found it to consistently work.

An Appimage is not at all like a windows msi file as nothing actually gets installed. It's comparable to a macos software package directory tree.

For windows I find chocolatey to be the only currently useful package manager. Even ms use it internally. Talk about crufty syntax though.

@StampedingLonghorn I personally like Flatpak
