@Suiseiseki the kernel doesn't care, the user probably does care about what's on their machine.
i genuinely think that despite its flaws pacman is the most sensible from the ones i've encountered, apt will complain about broken packages if any little things goes wrong, dnf takes ages to complete a transaction, apk is kinda decent but not my favorite.
guix was cool when i tried it but i prefer the more traditional package manager experience, maybe i just need to get used to it. then there's snap and flatpak which are very far from being sensible.
