No: each package manager had its own strange rules and concepts. I’ve worked with deb packaging, and I wouldn’t say that experience transferred to working on Homebrew or Nix. You might as well start with what you want to use.


This is good to know, though I continue to be sad that there isn't a general "design principles of package managers" knowledgebase.
