> Nix and Guix are the only 2 general-purpose package managers that I know of that can do it.

For anyone constrained to GNU/Linux, right?




Nix works on OSX (although the packages themselves may not)

I don't feel constrained by a free software operating system. Besides that, a bunch of people use Nix on OS X. On Windows I suppose you're stuck with the inferior package managers.


"I don't feel constrained by a free software operating system."

I appreciate the sentiment, but there's a substantial difference between "constrained to" and "constrained by".


There are many other OS out there.

Why do people only think of the triad?
