lk: a command palette for your bash functions
Cool suggestions. I actually wrote something like lk in bash, and used it for several years before writing lk. I called it run_lib. Like lk it also lists functions and their comments as a sort of documentation. It didn't allow fuzzy search though.

How did I run that code again? Tools to help recall
I grew frustrated with the compromises of makefiles for this and over the years I wrote a couple of alternatives, run_lib[1] and lk[2]. Now I write files full of the bash functions I need and use lk to explore and execute them. I.e. it's a consistent interface accross projects.

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.
