Comparison of Cross-Platform Package Managers

Last updated: 2025-11-25

Cross-platform package managers are designed to provide a large collection of software programs that can be installed on multiple platforms. They are commonly used to create developer environments that work across operating systems, or to supplement the system's main package manager (e.g. apt, dnf, pacman).

The following sections compare 8 cross-platform package managers: Guix, Homebrew, IX, Nix, pkgsrc, pkgx, Ravenports, and superconfigure.

Overview

Property	Guix	Homebrew	IX	Nix	pkgsrc	pkgx	Ravenports	superconfigure

Most widely used split 3x5+3 keyboards (that adhere to my specifications).

Spec

Split keyboard. True split, not unibody.
36 keys (3x5+3).
Has a more inward thumb cluster than the Corne.
Hotswap support.
Open source. Prefered.
Aggresive stagger (like Sofle v2). Optional.
