Every Linux Package Manager Explained
Every Linux distro installs software differently. There are 28 package managers — from tarballs in 1993 to Nix and Flatpak today — and they all think they're the right one.
In this video, I break down every single Linux package manager: how they work, why they exist, and what makes each one different. We cover RPM, dpkg, APT, YUM, Pacman, AUR, Portage, Nix, Snap, Flatpak,
AppImage, DNF5, and everything in between.
