Updated, rearranged software repositories and package managers #2640
Conversation
I added Slackware to the list of software repositories, and moved NixOS and GNU Guix to that category since their package managers are independent and closely related to their base distributions. I also added APK (for Alpine Linux and FreeBSD) and APT-RPM (for PCLinuxOS, Vine Linux, and ALT Linux) to the list of package managers.

Since the lower section is for the independent package managers it would better to swap the positions of the Nix & Guix lines with the APK & APT-RPM ones. I like that you updated the "Available as ..." text with the install command. Maybe the APK & APT-RPM lines should be split up to have each OS and it's install command as well? |
… Windows I swapped APK and APT-RPM package managers with NixOS and GNU Guix. I also found out Ungoogled-Chromium is available on Winget and Chocolatey too so I decided to also add these.
|
Ok, what about now? I also decided to add Chocolatey and Winget to the repos list because why not, let me know what you think. |

Does one really need to specify version for Slackware? |
|
I mean if people package it for Slackware, why not :D I'm sure someone will use it |
My question was more in the direction that a command having a version in it will soon stop functioning as written. Sorry if it wasn't clear from my original message. |
|
I'm not familiar with Slackware's package manager but wouldn't |
|
Thanks for incorporating instructions for Slackware users. The "upgradepkg --install-new" is the simplest instruction I can think of, so thanks Ahrotahn for suggesting it. |
I fixed the ungoogled-chromium repository URL and install command for Slackware, added Scoop installation guide, changed from APK to PKG because ungoogled-chromium is only available in FreeBSD's repo and not in Alpine's and changed from "GNU/Linux distribution" to "Operating System / Linux Distribution" because we also have BSD and Windows now.

Sorry, but your changes completely alter the meaning of that line, making it even incorrect! One cannot use Flatpak either on BSD or on Windows!

Why did you remove GNU and why did you change the order. It was good, it was alphabetic :) |
