JOIN NIXOS TODAY OR BECOME INSIGNIFICANT TOMORROW!
I know you have'nt asked me, but maybe my auditional input on this topic is also helpful: With NixOS I find myself looking into the packages on a very regular basis! You can find the links within the search.nixos.org site. The modules are well documented and list all the options available. In case you are interested in a working flakes configuration: you can find mine as an example on GitHub. I'm allready using flakes it for a few months and I love it! The configs are pretty much self explanatory. I also use krops for deploying to multible systems. I've linked some helpful ressources I've used to get into NixoS within my README. https://github.com/mayniklas/nixos
- People who use nix flakes for their system config, what do you do about the flake.lock?

Could you theoretically use other package managers on void?
A lot, it's (also) a complete linux distribution. See https://guix.gnu.org/en/packages/ and for comparison with other distros: https://repology.org/ It looks like they entered the top ten since last time I checked.

what OS do YOU use, as an emacs user?
I'm having a hard time believing it, but apparently nixpkgs is larger than AUR per https://repology.org/?
- Common denominator when developing widgets

How to deploy my FOSS to Linux users / repositories?
Generally, the easiest thing to do is to do nothing - if your software is useful and people are using it, then packagers will show up. You can track what distros packaged your project on https://repology.org/.

Discover Slitaz, a 50MB Lightweight Desktop Operating System
I remember when the internet was smaller (20 years ago?) some people would have a comparison of different package managers for linux distros where they would dive in to examples and use. Anyway, this is a high level of package currency : https://repology.org/
The last distros I've used that didn't really have their own package managers were Slackware (it is just a tarball) and PuppyLinux (adopted from slackware or debian).
Anyway, Slitaz is here https://repology.org/repository/slitaz_cooking

The problem raised by Linus Torvalds on package management
You can basically install nix packages on every Linux and even MacOS. They are imo better developed and less error prone. You are guaranteed to never have dependency issues. The hashing scheme and idea of representing and building packages from derivation logic is spectacular design. The design of Nix inherently supports atomic upgrades and the likes of an immutable system. Also, afaik, it has the largest package availability currently (at least as many pkgs as Arch's) https://repology.org/
