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/?

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/

Nix (the package manager of NixOS that can be installed on other distributions like Flatpak) releases version 2.4
Yep, it's no. 1 on https://repology.org/

Distros
Most have it on their website, but you can also check here

Couple of noob questions
So first, I'm a bit confused about AUR. I'm not aware of what you're describing. I heard about AUR-like repo for Nix (called NUR https://github.com/nix-community/NUR).

How to install NordVPN onto NixOS
Hi, I'm the author of the PR :) I uploaded it to NUR precisely so that it would be available sooner. However, as I wrote in the thread yesterday, as of this PR one of the components the package was relying on was deprecated. I'm still trying to make it work again using the new buildFHSEnv. However, if you're running 22.11 or haven't updated your local version of nixpkgs beyond that PR, it should still work.

New BFF
Apart from nixpkgs having many packages, there is also NUR which has even more stuff.

Is there NO alternative to the aur?
Nix also has the NUR. I have never needed to use it, while when I used arch I had many AUR packages.
-
Anyone figure out how to apply nvidia-patch in nixos?
Follow the NUR installation instructions and it should be in pkgs.nur.repos.arc.packages.nvidia-patch.
-
Best practices for organizing code repository for multiple machines? What about deployment?
As for the community repo, there's nur but only 120 people use it.. I think the reason nixpkgs is so big is that the community is pretty accepting of accepting loads of different packages.

Can one self host a nix package repo?
Some common options for the first: - your own git repo - your own flake (a specially constructed and easy to consume git repo) - something like NUR
