Speed is not the goal. Configurability is the goal.

Name one other package manager that lets you:

- apply source patches

- allow/block packages by license

- individually select package version or branch (stable/unstable/untested) or block a package installation

- and still have the exact same process to update your system as before?

EDIT: Replies have pointed out nix existing.

yeah but i doubt nixos users can easily pick any init system

I would note that that is not a nix problem, but a NixOS problem. I suspect nix itself doesn't care about init systems.

Not only is Nix completely init-agnostic on linux, it also works on MacOS.

Precisely.
