    Technicly yes but it’d be hard and would probably break a lot of stuff. If you need a diffrent package manager its better to just install a distro that comes with it.

    That’s essentially what you do when you wipe your system and install another distro. If you have a separate home partition that stays intact through the process then it’s especially true.

    Yes it probably is but there is really no sense in replacing all the packages

    curious, why would you want that? the packages are usually built by the distro maintainers for the distro, so if you switch from, say apt to dnf you’d have to take care of repackaging yourself.

      nixpkgs in my experience has more packages than most other distributions. For example they ship a ton of OBS plugins
