Same goes for GuixSD, and that's probably the most interesting one I haven't used extensively, at least of the ones that aren't made by two people and probably too unreliable. The package manager is way more complicated than normal package managers, but it solves the updooter problem, you can easily have older versions of programs and dependencies. It can also build from source. And everything can be automated from a single configuration file written in Scheme, and I think the init itself is written and configured in Scheme. Thinking about giving it a real shot for once, but I don't know if it's worth it. Maybe figuring out how to make a package, because they don't have Notion, the best window manager.
May seem unrelated to Slackware, but Slackware is the distribution where it's most common to use portable package managers that are unrelated to the distribution itself, and Guix is one of them. So, it made me think about that again.
