My favorite is pacman because it is fast af but it has really weird syntax’s
apk
is scary fast. Makes spinning up a quick Alpine chroot with e.g. Go or Rust for building with Musl take like 10 seconds.
I’m using pacman with paru
right now, but I have to say than installing flatpaks has been a really nice experience on my postmarket-os phone and on desktop as well. I am using Gnome Software to install and run with two clicks, feels very snappy.
Debian user here, I just use apt. Really easy to use. I don’t really think about being fond of a certain package manager, if it works, it works.
Nix on NixOS - pin any version of a package you want, multiple versions of the same package, works on all Linux distros and MacOS, and with Home-Manager it can even manage your dotfiles.
