Based on the information on the website, xbps has some good features (such as building from source using containers to isolate the build process), but it doesn&#x27;t have the same type of functional approach as Nix. Void looks like a decent entry in the Arch&#x2F;Gentoo stable, which means its good for staying on the cutting edge. NixOS is more useful if you&#x27;re going to be spinning up multiple containers&#x2F;VMs, which benefits from the stability and consistency of the Nix approach. YMMV.
