I use Linux since 2004 and have a lot of experience with all kinds of different package managers. I use all these actively on different systems right now and I like them best in this order:

flatpak > apk > paru / pacman > portage > apt

Used to prefer portage over everything, but as I got older, with 2 little children, etc. I just don't want to use source-based stuff intensively any more. Nowadays, I prefer to just install my sheit and have it work.

I love dnf just for its search function, I literally cannot use apt to search for packages its so much worse than dnf in that regard.
