    That’s essentially what you do when you wipe your system and install another distro. If you have a separate home partition that stays intact through the process then it’s especially true.

    Technicly yes but it’d be hard and would probably break a lot of stuff. If you need a diffrent package manager its better to just install a distro that comes with it.

    Yes it probably is but there is really no sense in replacing all the packages

    Well, technically ya could. Given some effort you could entirely replace it, but there’s usually no point. Take NixOS’ package manager as an example. You can drop it into any dsitro and use their repos, but anything you can find there you’d usually be able to find in your native repos.

      nixpkgs in my experience has more packages than most other distributions. For example they ship a ton of OBS plugins
