Back in August 2024, I discovered a linux distro called Dragora GNU/Linux. Dragora has a unique package manager called qi. For package instalation, Qi feel like installpkg from Slackware. For building package, qi takes some similiar approaches from PKGBUILD (Archlinux) and APKBUILD (Alpine linux). Qi uses a recipe as alternative of PKGBUILD, APKBUILD or slackbuild file to build package. Qi seems universal to use across distros, I’ve been actively using it on Ubuntu, Dragora, and LFS.
I have a question. What is the differences or which are the benefits of using Qi instead of the integrated package manager of my distro or instead of using nix for that matter?
