Package managers allow you to quickly install, manage, and delete programs (or apps, applications) from your operating system within a command-line interface. Different distros provide a variety of package managers, but all are straightforward.
No mention of nix, i have been using it for a while as a flatpak/snap alternative it’s working ok. It’s still somewhat glitchy but seeing how nixos packages are getting more and more investment i am hoping nix will get more polished and easier to use.
Also no mention of gnu-guix which also seems interesting and is similar to nix (although less populer), what i like about nix and guix that they don’t have to start downloading unneeded dependencies to use a package (basically they are less bloated).

Is the main aim of Nix to eliminate package version conflicts?
