Show HN: Electric – A fast, futuristic Package Manager For Windows
Hey guys I'm Tejas a 14 year old.
Say hi to Electric! Website: https://electric.sh
Built over 9 months, Electric (Open Source) is the easiest and fastest way to install and manage software on Windows.
Electric allows you to install, uninstall and update any software using a simple command. Just open your terminal, and type `electric install s/w-name`! Boom, in a few seconds, the software will be installed on your PC. Electric is one of the first package managers which can install multiple software in parallel!
Electric runs the installer silently - you don't even see the installer popup! It goes through all those complicated menus so you don't have to and voila! Just like that, you've installed the software. Electric does the downloading, virus checking, installing and verifying if the software is installed correctly – with love, speed and accuracy.
Today electric has support for the 300 most popular software and it's growing each day. You can view all package electric can install at https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric-package....
Electric is open source and it's built with a combination of Python and Rust. Some of the more performant components like the tab completion module and the installer (setting up web registry urls etc.) are written in Rust. Majority of the software however, is written in Python 3.
Here's the repository : https://github.com/electric-package-manager/electric

What is the Fedora experience like?
For comparing package versions across distros, I like https://repology.org/. Fedora's official online package search is https://packages.fedoraproject.org/.

NixOS RFC 136 accepted: A plan to stabilize the new CLI and Flakes incrementally
fwiw nixpkgs has significantly more packages than arch (including the aur), and those packages are also significantly more up to date. No other repo comes close to nixpkgs in this regard. This has been the case for quite some years now.

Package repo question, availability of packages
I think available package number is a bit of an exaggeration. looking at the statistics, the most packages are on nixOS. but there are other topics such as number of maintainers, update and stability. so middle ground is debian testing and arch. i suggest repology.org to look stats

Couple of noob questions
I believe it likely was a comparision in number of packages, currently nixpkgs outnumber AUR (although it also contains packages that are part of other languages): https://repology.org/

Linux Software Map
I guess the modern equivalent of that would be https://repology.org/
Although the focus is on the version aspect, so descriptions are a bit hidden and I'm not sure they're searchable.

ubuntu-debullshit! Script to get vanilla gnome, remove snaps, flathub and more on Ubuntu
I know that "number of packages" isn't a perfect metric, but going by that Nixpkgs is the largest (see https://repology.org/).

Is it possible to install older versions of XFCE (such as 4.14)
to find a distro still supporting that version you can use https://repology.org/ or https://pkgs.org

I hope nobody has done that
FreeBSD also has its own ports system which has 29678 (source: repology.org) packaged project.
