@nixCraft I've used all of these methods, but I prefer the package manager whenever possible.

@nixCraft
None

I keep a configuration that describes what is needed than use that configuration to get the necessary packages.

@nixCraft Either the local package manager (dnf in my case) or an AppImage that does not need any installation.
