- Nix: purely functional package manager that runs on multiple distros. 7/10 awesome ideas but difficult to work with.
- Guix: like Nix, but with Guile Scheme, and different packages. Seems to require system-wide installation and a daemon; also burdened with “freedom”. ??/10 haven’t tried it, but sounds iffy.
- Linuxbrew: Linux port/fork of the popular Homebrew package manager for macOS. 4/10 same problems as Homebrew itself.
- Gentoo Portage Prefix: build and run Gentoo packages in a $PREFIX, without root and on many different OSs. ??/10 haven’t tried it.
